If you use the scanner with its supplied antenna, reception 
of the frequencies covered by the scanner is mainly “line-of-
sight.” That means you usually cannot hear stations that are 
beyond the horizon.

Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals 
created inside the scanner's receiver. These operating 
frequencies might interfere with transmissions on the same 
frequencies. If you program 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. This scanner's birdie frequencies (in MHz) are:
