Not sure what you're referring to. What does R, BM, B, M, and RM stand for? Who gave you such information? Could you mean FM, NFM, WFM, AM?

If this is the area you want to scan - http://radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&ctid=1287

Just pick out frequencies you want to listen to and program them in.

You should not need to worry about "Type" .

What you are looking at is R=Repeater, BM=Base/mobile, B=Base, M=Mobile and I believe RM= Repeater Mobile

The scanner books would always seperate these and show how many of each their were. You just need to look at the frequency....so police/fire/ambulance departments use repeaters, you will see two frequencies for repeaters an input and output. You only need to concern yourself with the output frequency. Everything that is on VHF/UHF is in FM mode

Hope that helps you!
