Angola/Hamburg Fire Control 400 mhz

[BTFire21]

I have found that 46.20 is now being cross banded onto 423.975. I looked this frequency up and see that it is registered to the Town of Evans PD. Does anyone know if this will be the new dispatch frequency when the southern fire controls are migrated to 400 mhz. I was under the impression that 454.0875 would serve both Hamburg and Angola Fire Control.

Interesting....Only lic on file with FCC is for paging on 454.0875.....in Erie county

Yes they are also using 454.4125 right now as a cross band repeater on 46.22. Both of these repeaters are located at a Saia Communications site in Colden NY.

And Neither have a License....Unreal.....

They're simulcasting onto the ham band!? If they tried that crap here on Long Island we would fix it quickly with some 1000 watt amplifiers and long, boring QSOs... :lol:

i ddint even catch that.......hope he meant 453.975.....which isnt licensed out there either

 

[BTFire21]

I did mean 423.975. I'm located in Western NY by the Canadian Border where 420-430mhz are allocated for Public Safety not Ham Radio. I forgot the name of the Rule(something like the B Line Rule) that allows our area to use that part of the band for Public Safety/Business communications but it mainly has to do with the fact that Canada uses that allotment for commercial radio systems.

Here is a map of the Lines off the FCC website

OK that makes things clearer but still no listings so no License.......

Even though amateurs can't use 420-430 north of Line A, Buffalo, Detroit, and Cleveland are the only 3 places in the US where 420-430 are used by public safety and business. It's a lot like T-Band allotments in the other parts of the country. Only specific frequency ranges can be used in each area. 90.273 has the details. Canada uses this range for non-amateur stuff.

Evans PD will not be happy with that frequency. They will get interference.

How do you know they aren't the ones doing it? I don't know the situation there first-hand, but there must be a dozen ways County fire traffic could appear on a member town's frequency, not all of them sinister

 

[BTFire21]

Actually Evans PD doesn't use that frequency. They have been licensed on it for years but they continue to use 155.790. I believe an agreement was made that Evans PD would give that frequency to the new 400 mhz system.
