This indicator for each service search bank you selected appears on the
display, and the scanner searches through all non-skipped channels (see
"Skipping Frequencies/Channels" in Faxback Doc. # 46802) in the bank(s)
you selected.
The active banks indicator blinks on the display. The scanner searches
the frequencies within the active bank from the lowest to the highest
frequency. If the scanner detects a broadcast on a frequency, it stops on
that frequency. When the broadcast ends, the scanner continues to search
higher frequencies in the bank. When the scanner finishes searching all
frequencies in the bank, it does either of the following:
Returns to the lowest frequency in the bank and starts searching again
(if you selected only one bank).
Searches the frequencies in the next bank you selected (if you selected
more than one bank).
To turn off a service search bank, press the button until its indicator
disappears from the display.
Note: There must be at least one active search bank. You cannot turn off
all search banks.
Scanning Channel Storage Banks
Note: You cannot scan a channel-storage bank until you have stored
frequencies in it. See "Storing Frequencies into Channels" below.
To select one or more channel storage banks while scanning, select each
bank you want to scan by pressing its number key until the bank's number
appears on the display. The scanner scans through all non skipped
channels (see "Skipping Frequencies/Channels" in Faxback Doc. # 46802) in
the bank(s) you selected.
To turn off channel storage banks, press the number key for the bank(s)
until the bank's number disappears. The scanner does not scan any of the
stored channels within banks you have turned off.
Note: You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is
turned off.
Storing Frequencies into Channels
You can store up to 100 frequencies into your scanner's channels.
Good references for active frequencies are RadioShack's "Police Call Radio
Guide Including Fire and Emergency Services," "Aeronautical Frequency
Directory" and "Maritime Frequency Directory". We update these directories
every year, so be sure to get a current copy. See also "Guide to the
Action Bands" in Faxback Doc. # 17653.
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, follow the
steps in "Searching Frequency Bands" or "Searching Service Search Banks"
below to search for transmissions.
