emergency service. Here, most of the activity is between 453.025 and
453.95 MHz and between 456.025 and 467.925 MHz.
In the UHF band, frequencies between 456.025 and 459.95 MHz and between
465.025 and 469.975 MHz are used by mobile units and control stations
associated with base and repeater units that operate 5 MHz lower (that is,
451.025 to 454.950 and 460.025 to 464.975 MHz). This means that if you
find an active frequency inside one of these spreads, you can look 5 MHz
lower (or higher) to find the base station/repeater for that service.
Typical Band Usage
The following is a brief listing of the typical services that use the
bands you scanner can receive. This listing helps you decide which ranges
you would like to scan.
These frequencies are subject to change, and might vary from area to area.

The standard AM and FM bands are probably the most well known. There are also four television audio broadcast bands-the lower three transmit on the VHF band and the fourth transmits on the UHF band. Frequency Range Allocation 54.0 - 72.0 MHz ........................................... VHF Television 76.0 - 88.0 MHz ........................................... VHF Television 88.0 - 108.0 MHz ............................................. Standard FM
174.0 - 216.0 MHz ......................................... VHF Television 470.0 - 805.75 MHz ........................................ UHF Television International Broadcast Bands Several short-wave bands are allocated for international broadcasting because of the nature of propagation of high frequencies. The bands are sometimes identified according to the approximate wavelength of the signals in meters. Your scanner may receive the 11-meter band, from 25.6 - 26.10 MHz.

MHz higher than their associated base and relay repeater units.
Specified Intervals
Frequencies in different bands are accessible only at specific intervals.
For Example:
VHF, HAM, and Government: .................................. 5.0 kHz steps
All Others: ............................................... 12.5 kHz steps
Aircraft: ................................................. 25.0 kHz steps
Note: Your scanner rounds the entered frequency to the nearest valid
frequency. For example, if you try to enter 151.473, the scanner
might accept this as 151.470.

Frequency Conversion
The tuning of a station can be expressed in frequency (kHz or MHz) or in
wavelength (meters). The following information can help you make the
necessary conversions.
1 MHz (million)=1,000 kHz (thousand)
To convert MHz to kHz, multiply by 1,000:
9.62 MHz x 1000 = 9620 kHz
To convert from kHz to MHz, divide by 1,000
2780 kHz / 1000 = 2.780 MHz
To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of megahertz
300 / 7.1 MHz = 42.25 meters
A Note on Image Reception
Radios work by simple mathematics. For example, most tune to a frequency
by mixing that frequency with another (local oscillator) frequency which
is slightly different. This mixing process primarily gives us the two
original frequencies, their sum, and their difference. Well, the radios
Intermediate Frequency (I.F.) filter normally passes either the sum or
difference frequency, and this is then processed into the sound we hear.
Because nothing is perfect, certain harmonics will also get through if
they are strong enough. For example, if a radios I.F. is 10.7 MHz, we
might be able to tune to a frequency 21.4 MHz (2 x I.F.) above (or below,
depending on the radios design) a strong signal and hear it! This is more
evident in a double-conversion radio than a triple-conversion radio,
because the triple-conversion radios 1st intermediate frequency is quite
high. This causes the image to be so far off frequency that it is easy to
effectively filter it out.
So remember that just because a radio doesnt receive something which
another does is not necessarily an indication of a problem. The one radio
may simply not be tricked into picking up an image! This rejection of
undesired signals is one reason that a triple-conversion receiver costs
more than a similar dual-conversion model.
You might be interested in finding more out about radio. One good
location to start looking is your local public library. You might also
wish to contact the A.R.R.L., as they are an excellent source of
informative texts on the subject.

Q: In Auto Storing, this Scanner keeps storing the same frequency over
and over again. In the Owners Manual under Features, it is stated
that Auto Store will scan and store the frequency. If the same
frequency comes up again, it checks the frequency and if it is the
same frequency, it skips it. But under Operation of Auto Storing. it
does not state that it will skip a frequency if it is already stored.
