To find the birdies in your individual scanner, begin by disconnecting the antenna and moving it away from the scanner. Make sure that no 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. Occasionally, the searching will stop as if it had found a signal, often without any sound. That is a birdie. Make a list of all the birdies in your scanner for future reference.
