Re: BC 780 memory expansion

Hello all,

 The benefit of adding memory is that it allows you to have multiple locations programmed into one scanner, and as you travel from one location to another, you can change memories.

  With all the radio services to scan, it's easy to fill the 780's 10 banks for one geographic area; then for the 2nd memory, program another geographic area; and the 3rd memory and 4th memories hold additional areas.    In my case, I program scanners for the TV station where I work.   Because our crews in different counties each require separate programming plans for their respective areas, I developed separate programming plans for the various areas, and still another plan for the scanners at the news desk.   Having 3 or 4 memories in the 780 allowed me to have all of these different databases in one radio in my vehicle, so I could scan local systems no matter where I drove in the area.  And after programming my own scanner at home with all the different databases, I took my scanner to work to clone the scanners there.

  Even if you don't travel with the scanner, the extra memory/memories allows you to put lots of stuff in the scanner, such as state/federal wildfire frequencies; ham radio; railroads; business radio channels/trunk systems; public safety; mutual aid  channels; aviation; and other services that you may need in different monitoring circumstances.

  Now that Uniden and GRE have made scanners with very large memories, the memory expansion is not needed in the newer radios.
