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
clockwise to cut out the birdie. These are the
SQUELCH MIN/MAX
most common birdies to watch for:
29.800 MHz 140.175 MHz
32.000 MHz 140.800 MHz
38.400 MHz 144.625 MHz
46.370 MHz 148.525 MHz
51.200 MHz 152.750 MHz
112.375 MHz 153.600 MHz
115.200 MHz 156.540 MHz
121.600 MHz 157.050 MHz
128.000 MHz 160.555 MHz
131.025 MHz 162.200 MHz
134.400 MHz 166.400 MHz
136.675 MHz 173.925 MHz
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.
