A method of searching a specified band of frequencies for a plurality of active signal frequency in a scanning receiver is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, a range of channel memory storage locations are specified and a controller in the scanning receiver repetitively scans the range of frequencies for active signal frequencies and stores a number corresponding to each active signal frequency in one of the storage locations. Upon filling all of the specified storage locations, the search and store operation is terminated.

Automatic frequency search and storage method

An automatic frequency transfer and storage method is disclosed in a scanning receiver having a channel memory having a plurality of storage locations for storing frequency numbers corresponding to frequencies. In the preferred embodiment, the storage locations are grouped into channel banks. Each storage location is identified with a channel number and each channel bank is identifed with a channel bank identifier. A source channel number and either a destination channel number or destination channel bank identifier are specified. A controller searches the specified channel bank for a clear storage location. In either case, the controller displays the pertinent frequency transfer information and the transfer is executed upon confirmation, and the source storage location is cleared.
