Default Little help with this frequency

The FCC & Cityfreq. databases show the following:

Flatlands VAC
4632 Avenue N
Brooklyn
KAQ513
155.28 MHz
155.715 MHz

WPYX242
462.475 MHz
467.425 MHz

Broad Channel FD
15 Noel Rd.
Queens
KJN880
46.46 MHz (This frequency is also Suffolk County Fire Controls primary countywide dispatch channel)
155.28 MHz

Nothing comes up on any of the databases for 154.34 MHz in Queens or Brooklyn. Check N2NOVs website, (He is a RR member) under NYC volunteer ambulance & fire department frequencies, it's an extensive listing for everything in the greater NY area. I wish I could have been of further assistance to you. Maybe someone local to you will respond to your thread with possible frequency updates that possibly may not have reached the databases yet.

Both frequencies are still currently in use by both departments along with other VACs within the city. Remember that these frequencies are relatively low power and designed to cover their respective areas.

What part of NYC are you in? If you are not close and don't have a good antenna, your not going to hear them. Hope this helps...

I'm not sure you will be able to hear them then. Try listening at 8pm and 9pm. West Hamilton does their radio test at 8pm nightly and Broad Channel does theirs at 9pm nightly.

I dont think you can with that model.it would have a mode button to change the receiving from fm to pl or dpl values.for example broad channel vac uses a pl tone of 186.2 and suffolk med comm uses 156.7.I nvest in a pl/dpl capable scanner and enter the tone values for the departments you wish to hear and that will help block unwanted voice traffic

Default An utter lack of detail in this thread ...

Can someone tell me who specifically, if anybody, uses 154.340 in New York City?
