Birdie Frequencies
All scanners have signals created inside the scanner’s receiver. These
birdie frequencies can interfere with transmissions on the same
frequencies. If the interference is not severe, you might be able to
turn SQ clockwise to omit the birdie.
To nd the birdies:
1. Disconnect the antenna and moving it away from the scanner.
Make sure that no other nearby radio or TV sets are turned on
near the scanner.
2. Start a search of every frequency range from its lowest frequency
to the highest. When the search stops, often without any sound,
this is a birdie.
3. Make a list of all the birdies in your scanner for future reference.
