To use your scanner with confidence, it's
extremely helpful to understand the
following scanner basics.
Banks and Channels
Banks and channels are the way stored
frequencies are organized in your scanner.
. A channel is a memory location where
you store a frequency. The channels in
the UBC3000XL T are numbered 1 - 400.
. A bank is a group of channels. The
UBC3000XL T has 20 banks with 20
channels in each.
You can turn each bank on or off to control
whether its channels are included during
scanning. When you turn off a bank, its
channels are not erased, but are only
temporarily excluded from scanning. This
allows you to customise your scanning
without constantly deleting and
re-programming the channel frequencies.
You can also temporarily lock out
individual channels within a bank during
scanning. This lets you further
customise your scanning without
deleting channel frequencies. See
"Locking Out Channels" on Page 21.
Scanning Versus
Searching
Scanning and searching are similar in
that they both involve finding active
frequencies within a group of
frequencies. The difference isScanning
looks only at a group of programmed
frequencies that are stored in the scanner's
channels and grouped into banks.

Searching looks at all the frequencies within
a pre-selected range of frequencies.
If you find an interesting frequency while
searching, you can store it in a channel for
easier access later. See "Search
Pr<;>gramming"on Page 12.
