Birdie Frequencies
Birdies are frequencies your scanner uses when it operates. These operating fre-
quencies might interfere with broadcasts on the same frequencies. If you tune one
of these frequencies, you hear only noise on that frequency.
If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn
SQUELCH
clockwise to
cut out the birdie. Here are this scanner’s birdie frequencies that you might want to
watch for:
To find the birdies in any receiver, begin by disconnecting the antenna and moving
it away from the receiver. Make sure that no other nearby radio or TV sets are
turned on near the receiver. Use the search function and search every frequency
range from its lowest frequency to the highest. Occasionally, the searching will stop
as if it had found a signal, often without any sound. That is a birdie. Make a list of all
the birdies in your scanner for future reference.
