Birdies typically occur with
approximately equal strength with
and without the scanner’s antenna
attached. If you receive an
interfering signal and suspect that
it is a birdie, try removing the
scanner’s antenna. If the
interference disappears, the
interference may be the result of
other electronic equipment in the
vicinity of the scanner. If the
interference remains, it is likely a
birdie signal.
It may be possible to adjust the
squelch control and/or attenuator
to minimize the effects of a birdie
signal on scanning operation. Both
of these methods will likely have
some effect on the signal you are
trying to monitor as well.
The scanner’s birdie frequencies
(in MHz) are:
