11 The Basics the basics A frequency is the tuning location of a station. A channel is a programmable memory location for storing frequencies that you can scan for activity . Channels are grouped into 10 channel- storage banks , each of which contains 100-channels. Service banks are preset channel-storage banks of frequencies used by HAM operators,[...]
