In DMA terminology, there are no such things as banks anymore. Basically, channels are allocated from a pool of memory, the capacity of which is different for each model. It’s highly recommended to read UPMan’s article, and use a spreadsheet (or other columnar function) to plan how to program one of these scanners. There are also the ‘Easier to Read’ manuals for each of the DMA scanners, which are a signficant improvement over the Uniden offerings. Start by reading the Uniden DMA FAQ first.
