VHF Business Memory Bank
Once again, this was prior to FCC refarming, but I think you'll get the idea.

Notes:
Prior to FCC band refarming, this bank would cover all the available high band business frequencies in an urban area. In rural areas, it was possible that VHF taxicab frequencies would also be used.
Scanning this bank by memory would be like combining searches of 151.625-151.955, and 154.515-154.600.
Sighting VHF radios could now require the following ranges to be searched in 7.5 kHz steps.
151.490 -151.985 (former Business Radio Svc)
152.270-152.480 (former Taxicab)
152.870-153.020 (former Special Industrial)
154.490-154.640 (former Business & Special Industrial)
157.530-157.740 (former Taxicab)
159.495-160.200 (former Land Transportation)
