A General Guide to Scanning

• You cannot use the disconnect tone detect function

if you are programming a trunking frequency or a
fleet map.

To set the scanner to automatically tune to the data
channel once again when it detects a disconnect tone,
press

SVC (E)

A General Guide to

Scanning

Your scanner’s reception is mainly “line-of-sight.” You
usually cannot hear stations that are beyond the horizon.

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 frequency. If the
interference is not severe, you might be able to turn

SQUELCH

clockwise to cut out the birdie.

This scanner’s known birdie frequencies (in MHz) are:
