If you forget the password
If you forget your password, you must initialize the scanner to be
able to operate it. This operation will result in the clearing of your
programmed data and the loss of any custom changes you have
made to the radio’s global parameters. See “Initializing the Scanner to
Factory Defaults” on page 92.
Birdie Frequencies
Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals created inside
the scanner’s receiver, which may 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 Sqelch clockwise to omit the birdie.
To find the birdies in your scanner, disconnect the antenna and
moving it away from the scanner. Make sure that no other nearby
radio or TV sets are turned on near the scanner. Use the Tune
function and scan every frequency range from its lowest frequency to
the highest. Occasionally, the searching will stop as if it had found a
signal, often without any sound. This is a birdie. Make a list of all the
birdies in your scanner for future reference.
