Anyone know why when browsing Pike County, Pennsylvania, the following is displayed?

US > Pennsylvania > Pike (County) [New York City]

US > Pennsylvania > Pike (County) [New York City]

From what I can see, the DB Admin has it included in the Greater NYC area on the Metro page.

(See bottom of page)

New York City Metro Area Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

I didn't think PA was one of the "Tri- states" (NY,NJ,CT)

New York metro page only lists cities in NY

Connecticut only lists cities in Connecticut

New Jersey however, does list NYC.

Kinda strange..

I think Pike County is close to NYC.. some parts of PA are considered part of the greater NYC area. (Delwater Gap area along I80 etc)

I can see crossover between NY and NJ because of entities such as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Maybe Pike County hosts an entity or radio facility that belongs to NYC, similarly to the upstate radio facilities for the agency that patrols reservoirs that feed water to NYC.

I expect it's because Pike County is in the "New York–Newark–Jersey City, NY–NJ–PA Metropolitan Statistical Area."

One unique item of note is that Pike County PA borders NY & NJ. The tri-state borders meet just south of the bridge on I-84 that crosses the Delaware River. When you cross from PA into NY you just narrowly shave NJ. There is a marker on the peninsula of Carpenter's Point, just a few feet south of the bridge where the three states meet. It is accessible by car from Laurel Grove cemetery in Port Jervis NY. It's kinda neat to stand on the marker and be in three states at once.

I have been to that marker. If I remember it correctly, it has the border line of all three states carved into the rock. Which is also know as "The Tri-State Rock" ....
