Would whatever moderator or admin moved my post here please PM or contact me. This was posted in announcements so that all members would see it not just in NY. By posting here, this drastically limits who will see this and be able to help these departments out.
Thanks

Your thread is not an announcement to the community, nor is it newsworthy. So it doesn't really fit into Community Announcements / News.

Do the Vhf need to be narrow compliant?

The frequencies for these departments aren't in the database, unless they're using the FDNY frequencies. In any case, I've emailed you with some older VHF-hi gear I have.

It is an announcement to the Community. And it may not be news worthy in your area, but to most of the people in the Northeast and Public Safety and Communications, this is the biggest thing to affect them since Katrina. |

I visited Rockaway yesterday and saw the devistation firsthand. The first responders there are dealing with a situation that is beyond comprehension for most of us.
I assure you that it is news worthy and any help that this community can provide would be beneficial. To think otherwise is frankly ingnorant.

I know Scott personally - I'm going to go ahead and make an exception here and place this back in the sitewide announcements forum.

Thanks Lindsay!!
An update for everyone.
We still need a VHF base for Broad Channel
We still need a Lowband radio to hook up to the paging encoder for Point Breeze
We can use lowband pager for Point Breeze.
We have gotten and engine donated for Roackaway Point and have gotten a mobile donated for it.
We can still use a VHF mobile for the engine that was donated to Broad Channel and will be there tomorrow.
West Hamilton can use 2 mobile for their 2 engines that were donated.
All the above VHF equipment needs to be narrowbandable.
There are still plenty of departments in Nassau and Suffolk Co, NY that can use equipment and tons in NJ.
Most of these departments equipment was underwater in saltwater for 12-24 hours and what is still working will not be working long. If you have other equipment to donate outside of what is listed above, please contact me and I can connect you direct with a department or agency to coordinate the donation.
Thanks for the help. It is great to see the communications community come together to help others.
Scott.

Thank you. This is what the RR community is all about, helping each other out in the aftermath of devastation like was caused by Sandy. |

Low band (the 47 MHz station) would not need to be narrowbanded. Low band does not narrowband.
I have two low band base stations. I'm thinking one is 33 MHz (low split) and one is 37 MHz (mid split). I'm checking to see if one can do 47 MHz without mods or if I have high split strips. If so, will contact you directly.
What was their old lowband station (the crystals should still be good)?

What wattage on the VHF base?
What wattage on the Low band?
How many channels on the mobiles?
I just tried calling. Left message.
I wish I had known, we could have thrown some in the box - we just sent two laptops with docking stations to them today.
