Ham Radio Frequencies

Ham radio operators often broadcast emergency information when other means
of communication break down.

The following chart shows the voice frequencies that you can monitor.

BIRDIES

Birdies are frequencies the scanner uses when it operates.  These operating
frequencies might interfere with broadcasts on the same frequencies.  If
you program one of these frequencies, the scanner locks up and you hear
only noise on that frequency.

If the interference is not severe, you might be able to rotate SQUELCH
clockwise to cut out the birdie.  The most common birdies to watch for are
listed below.

Birdie Frequencies:

32.100 MHz

NOTE:  Depending on the temperature of some of the scanner's internal
       components, you might hear birdies on frequencies slightly above or
       below the frequencies listed here.
