Ham Radio Frequencies

Ham radio operators often transmit emergency informa- tion when other means of communication break down. The chart below shows the frequencies the scanner re- ceives that ham radio operators normally use:

Wavelength	Frequencies (MHz)
10-Meter	29.000–29.700
6-Meter	50.000–54.000
2-Meter	144.000–148.000
70-cm	420.000–450.000
33-cm	902.000–928.000

Birdie Frequencies

Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are sig- nals created inside the scanner’s receiver. These oper- ating frequencies might interfere with transmissions on the same frequencies. If you program one of these fre- quencies, 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:

29.0000	147.7650	415.3375	475.2375
31.9500	150.1500	419.3375	479.2375
32.1000	151.7600	423.3250	483.2250
35.9400	155.7500	427.3125	487.2250
38.4000	159.7450	429.0500	491.2125
