Troubleshooting

To convert MHz to kHz, multiply the number of mega-
hertz by 1,000:

30.62 (MHz)

×

1000 = 30,620 kHz

To convert from kHz to MHz, divide the number of kilo-
hertz by 1,000:

127,800 (kHz)

÷

1000 = 127.8 MHz

To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of
megahertz:

300

÷

50 MHz = 6 meters

Troubleshooting

If you have problems with your scanner, here are some
suggestions that might help you eliminate the problem. If
they do not, take your scanner to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.

Problem

Possible Cause

Remedy

Scanner is on
but will not
scan.

SQUELCH is not
adjusted cor-
rectly.

Turn SQUELCH clock-
wise. See “Turning on
the Scanner and Setting
Squelch” on Page 29.

Poor or no
reception.

An antenna is
not connected or
connected incor-
rectly.

Make sure an antenna
is connected to the
scanner.

Programmed fre-
quencies are the
same as birdie
frequencies.

Avoid programming
birdie frequencies or
only select them manu-
ally. See “Birdie Fre-
quencies” on Page 59.

In the scan
mode, the
scanner locks
on frequen-
cies that have
an unclear
transmission.

Stored frequen-
cies are the
same as “birdie”
frequencies.

Avoid storing birdie fre-
quencies or only select
them manually. See
“Birdie Frequencies” on
Page 59.
