A GENERAL GUIDE TO
SCANNING
Your scanner’s reception is mainly “line-of-sight.” You
usually cannot hear stations that are beyond the hori-
zon.
GUIDE TO FREQUENCIES
National Weather Frequencies
Birdie Frequencies
Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are sig-
nals created by the scanner’s internal circuits. These
stray frequencies might interfere with broadcasts on the
same or similar frequencies. If you program one of
these frequencies, you hear only noise on that frequen-
cy. If the interference is not severe, you might be able
to turn

clockwise to cut out the birdie.
