A GENERAL GUIDE TO SCANNING

Reception of the frequencies covered by your scanner is main-

ly “line-of-sight.” That means you usually cannot hear stations

that are beyond the horizon.

Birdie Frequencies

Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals cre-

ated inside the scanner’s receiver. These operating frequen-

cies might interfere with transmissions on the same

frequencies. If you program 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. This scanner’s birdie frequencies (in MHz) are

To find the birdies in your individual scanner, begin by discon-

necting 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. Use the search function and search every

frequency range from its lowest frequency to the highest. Oc-

casionally, the searching will stop as if it had found a signal, of-

ten without any sound. That is a birdie. Make a list of all the

birdies in your scanner for future reference.
