SEARCHING SERVICE
BANKS
You can search for public service, po-
lice, fire/emergency, aircraft, and
weather transmissions even if you do
not know the specific frequencies that
are used in your area. You can also
store any of the frequencies you find
into channels.
Your scanner has the following pre-
programmed service banks.
• PUB — contains 140 public ser-
vice frequencies
• POLICE — contains 2,392 police
frequencies
• FIRE/EMG — contains 197 fire
and emergency service frequen-
cies
• AIR — contains 2,319 aircraft and
air service frequencies
• WX — contains 7 weather fre-
quencies
To select a service bank, press SVC .
(activity indicator) appears above
the service bank’s name ( PUB, PO-
LICE , FIRE/EMG , AIR , and WX ) ,
and one of the preset public service
frequencies appear. After a 2-second
delay, scanning begins in the selected
bank.
To select another service bank, re-
peatedly press
SVC until appears
above the name of the bank you want
to use.
Notes:
• To skip data signals (such as
modem signals), press DATA . See
“Skipping Data Signals” on
Page 25.
• Because frequencies are not
always assigned to the same ser-
vices everywhere, you might hear
transmissions from one service in
another service bank.
