Radio Systems - Sept 2016

I took at peek at the Radio Reference Database to see where the

various counties in NY stand at this time. This is what I found. (This

is not a complete statewide listing - I just looked at 2 areas today)

("VHF" = VHF highband 150 to 170 Mhz) ('P" = police) ("F" = fire )

("A" = ambulance)

---------------------------------------------------

Western Area

Chautaqua County - P 156.21 - F 46.14

Cattaraugus County - P 159.405 - F 154.325 - Olean F 33.60

Erie County - 90% UHF - 424 + 453 + 460 Mhz

Niagara County - 424 Mhz TRS

Orleans County - 800 Mhz TRS

Genesee County - 800 T

Wyoming County - VHF

Allegany County - VHF

Livingston County - P 155.595 - F 46.16

Monroe County - PDs on UHF - Fds and Ambs on VHF - (maybe gone to 700T

actually recently ?)

Wayne County - P 154.845 - F + A on VHF

Ontario County - 800 T

(usually some of the local communities in the various counties will

have their own local channels - but my guess is that at least 75% to

85% of units operate on the county nets in this western area - except

for Erie County where 85% of the units operate on the local channels)

---------------------------------------------------

Southwest Area - just north of NYC

Delaware County - P 156.03 - F 46.06 (+ UHF locals)

Schoharie County - P 155.73 - F 46.18 - A 155.22

Greene County - P 155.91 - F 46.14 - A VHF

Columbia County - P 154.025 - F 46.50 + 161.875 - A 155.295

Dutchess County - 800 T (?P) - P VHF - F / A 453.90 - A 155.745 ops

Ulster County - 800 T (?P?) - P VHF - F 33 Mhz + 155.22

Sullivan County - P 151.37 - F 46 mhz - A 155.205

Orange County - P 800 T - P 159.135 - F 154.205 / 46.16 / UHF Hts - A 153.86

Putnam County - P VHF - F 46.38 - A 155.205

Rockland County - 700 T - was P 154.725 + F 46.18

Westschester County - Sheriff VHF - fire response 470 T - locals are

on every freq known to mankind

=====================

if I had to guess, I would guess that 99% of agencies who are using

low band (for bases and mobiles) have their portables on VHf or UHF
