Abstract

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.
