Birdie Frequencies
Birdies are frequencies your scanner uses when it operates. These operating fre- quencies might interfere with broadcasts on the same frequencies. If you tune 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. Here are this scanner’s birdie frequencies that you might want to watch for:
29.4900 | 114.6875 | 147.4550 | 405.6000 |
29.4950 | 117.9625 | 147.4600 | 416.0000 |
31.2000 | 124.5250 | 150.9100 | 417.1000 |

To find the birdies in any receiver, begin by disconnecting the antenna and moving it away from the receiver. Make sure that no other nearby radio or TV sets are turned on near the receiver. 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.
