Sounds like the scanner receiver is the problem. (You'd have to have some really weird transmitter circuitry for it to emit on those three frequencies.)

Make sure the transmitter and scanner aren't too close to each other -- you don't want the transmitter signal getting into the electronics of the scanner and you don't want to put too much signal into the scanner receiver, if you overload it then you're going to get all sorts of modulation effects (that is, apparent signals will show up all over the spectrum).

Its helpful to know the relative strengths of the signals.

Our club purchased a scanner. We are using a program on the scanner which gives primary freq and + and - 455 image freq. When a tx is turned on the scanner picks up these image freq as well as primary.

I am thinking these are generated by the rx not the tx.

Are they a problem?  Am I correct?
