When you do program the unit up it would also be a good idea to perhaps
organise you banks in progressively increasing frequency areas.

Although that's the way the scanner came preprogrammed from the factory, it is
better to program the scanner with progressively lower frequency banks.

That is because the scanner scans each bank from highest to lowest frequency,
but scans linked banks upward, numerically.

If you have bank one containing frequencies from 151 to 160 MHz, and bank two
containing frequencies from 161 to 173 MHz, the scanner will scan bank one ...
and end at 151 MHz ... then have to jump to 173 MHz to begin scanning bank two.

In that arrangement, there is more chance of missing active frequencies in the
upper frequency range of bank two ... due to the frequency separation between
151 and 173 MHz.

The manual says that separation should be kept under 25 MHz., but I have noted
missed active channels with less than 10 MHz separation.
