Birdie Frequencies
Birdie are operating frequencies generated and used inside the scanner's
receiver. These operating frequencies could interfere with broadcasts
on the same frequencies and make them difficult or impossible to receive.
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.
