This question may have already been asked. I got my new scanner today, i need to know can you put black light colors to banks. example bank 1 red, bank 2 blue and so on. I thought i read something the other day about this but i can't seem to find it now. Any help would be appreciate it.

Note that this changes it on a channel-by-channel basis. After the alert, it returns to the previous backlight state (brightness and color).
Yes - so to make that really clear for someone who hasn't played around with the settings, if you have an LED alert set (say, flashing blue for local PD) and you have the backlight set for white and squelch break, because the alert is shorter than the squelch setting, when the PD channel becomes active, the LEDs will blink blue and then revert to solid white and then go dark. Works for me!
Actually, if the b/l was off before the alert, it will go from blink blue to off. It would only go to white if the LED was set to be on and white before the alert (and in that case, it would stay on white and not turn off after the alert).
I have backlight set to white and squelch, and an LED alert set to blue/flash. When the channel with the alert becomes active, it flashes blue for a short time, then goes to solid white for the balance of the time period for the squelch-break "on" time period, then goes dark. Are you getting a different result???
Now I'm going to have to re-look. Been a while since I sat here and watched the scanner in different modes.
