A term used to describe the traditional type of memory architecture of scanners as opposed to the newer Dynamic memory architecture (DMA) types.

It consists of a scanner memory configured in a number of banks of available channels which are used to load frequencies to scan for activity. The lists part of the phrase typically refers to lists of talk group ID's when the bank is used to monitor a trunking radio system. The number of banks and lists differ from scanner model to scanner model and you should refer to your owner's manual or other references to determine the capacity of your particular scanner.
