Unfortunately, no.  The birdie wipes out the signal once it gets close to that 
frequency.

Others have suggested using narrow FM, RIT, etc., but my TS2K with a good mast 
mounted preamp and M2 switchable polarization yagi antenna is no match for it.

The easiest way to get around it, is to use one of the many inexpensive Chinese 
handhelds as the UHF receiver.
