Is 460.2250 a countywide cross-band of 46.10 , or like the Battalion cross-bands is it limited in reach?

Are you hearing anything on that frequency? I haven't heard that cross-band in almost a year.

I heard something that sounded distant, like something through a tin-can, through a Solo cup into another tin-can. I could barely make it out, which is why I was wondering if it was a 'real' cross band, or if I was picking up something faintly that was bleeding over.

All I hear on that frequency, and very weakly at that, is Seaside Park, NJ PD with DPL 664. I have a feeling the 46.10 crossband is gone.
Try 453.8750 PL 100.0 It is the new UHF paging channel. Seems the county wants to try and use UHF now and move departments off the low band. This is not a cross band of 46.10 and you will hear a handful of departments actively using it.

Thank you. I head back down this Friday, I'll see what pops up.
Happen to know of any in the 2nd/3rd/4th Battalions are on it, aside from Woodmere?

Inwood is using it. You'll also hear Roslyn and Carle Place.

i live in coastal eastern monmouth county. i saw this thread this morning. threw the new frequency in my bcd396xt with the radioshack 800 mhz. duck. picking it up 5 x 5. i heard Lido page out for a structure fire, and a few other call's.
Funny you should mention that your in Jersey and picking up lido. I am in East Islip Ny and pick up Gateway National Recreation Area 5 X 5 with sdr and an indoor antenna facing East. The park is south west of me.

OK, dropped 453.8750, with the PL 100.0 into the XTS3000. I understand why they are on 46.xx, changing over all those radios and pagers is a pain in the @$$. But with nearly every FD having UHF for fireground, they are already on the band, so changing pagers is the only significant expense since FireCom is already on UHF as well as 46.xx

Actually, the bigger motivation throughout the Metro area behind the migration away from the 33.->50.00 band for alerting is the fact that Motorola, starting with the rollout of the Minitor VI, is no longer manufacturing pagers capable of the VHF-low band. With previous Minitor models no longer being supported by Motorola (parts for and service of Vs, IVs, and back will become / already has become a problem) and competing manufacturer's products being looked at skeptically (rightly so, in some instances), the only option left to some counties is to abandon low band for paging and move toward a band that a VI can be bought for.
