Birdie Frequencies

Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals created in- side the scanner’s receiver. These operating frequencies might inter- fere with broadcasts on the same frequencies. If you program one of these frequencies, you hear only noise on that frequency. If the inter- ference is not severe, you might be able to turn SQUELCH clockwise to cut out the birdie. The birdie frequencies (in MHz) found in this scanner are:

31.2000	41.6000	52.6000	116.0375
171.2500	410.0000	430.0000	480.4750
489.1875	489.2500	489.3500	489.4500
489.5000	813.4000	814.0000	932.6000
932.8250	938.3750	940.9000
