Radio Shack PRO-96 A GENERAL GUIDE TO, FREQUENCIES, US Weather Frequencies, (in MHz), Ham Radio Frequencies, Birdie Frequencies

A GENERAL GUIDE TO

FREQUENCIES

Reception of the frequencies covered by your scanner is mainly “line-of-sight.” That means you usually cannot hear stations that are beyond the horizon.

US Weather Frequencies

(in MHz)

162.400		162.425		162.450
162.475		162.500		162.525
162.550
		Ham Radio Frequencies
	Wavelength		Frequencies (MHz)
	10-Meter		28.000	— 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
	23-cm		1240.000	— 1300.000

Ham radio operators often transmit emergency information when other means of communication break down. The chart below shows the frequencies the scanner receives that ham radio operators normally use.

Birdie Frequencies

Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals created inside the scanner’s receiver. On rare occasions, birdies can cause interference to channels you want to listen to.
