To find the birdies in your particular scanner, begin by disconnecting the
antenna and moving it away from the scanner. Make sure that no other
nearby radios or TVs are turned on near the scanner. Use the search
function to search every frequency range from its lowest to the highest
frequency. Occasionally, the searching will stop as if it had found a sig-
nal, often without any sound. That is a birdie. Make a list of all the birdies
in your scanner for future reference.
