BIRDIE FREQUENCIES
Birdies are frequencies your scanner uses when it operates.
These operating frequencies might interfere with broadcasts on
the same frequencies. If you program one of these frequencies,
you might hear only noise on that frequency.
If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn
SQUELCH MIN/MAX
clockwise to cut out the birdie. These are the
most common birdies to watch for:
To find your specific scanner’s birdies, begin by disconnecting the
antenna and moving it away from the scanner. Make sure that no
other nearby radio or TV sets are turned on. Search each search
band from its lowest frequency to its highest. Occasionally, the
scanner will stop as if it had found a signal, often without any
sound. That is a birdie. Make a note of that frequency, then con-
tinue. Make a list of all the birdies in your scanner for future refer-
ence.
