UNDERSTANDING BANKS CHANNEL STORAGE BANKS To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, channels are divided into 10 banks of 20 channels each. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those used by the police department, fire department, ambulance services, or aircraft (see “Guide to the Action Bands” on Page 54). For example, the police department might use four frequencies, one for each side of town. You could program the police frequencies
