Long Island Bus frequencies

[check_and_advise]

I live in western Queens so I may be too far, does anybody know their frequencies
and where their antenna is located? I can listen to MTA Bus and NYCT Bus with no
problems. What about Long Island? thanks

I *believe* they operate on the MTA Long Island Bus talkgroups on the Nassau EDACS trunking system, but don't quote me on that.

Nassau County Public Safety Trunking System, Nassau County, New York - Scanner Frequencies

Thanks CqDx, I was searching in the wrong place. I am going to program those
frequencies and see how it turns out.I have never programmed an EDACS system before

Edit: I am stuck already, sorry. It gives me 2 options. wide/narrow scat what does that mean?
Uniden 346xt

MTA Long Island Bus talkgroups on the Nassau EDACS trunking system

just to let everyone know they don't talk to much on the radio system ....... I have program on the BC 346 XT not much action .... but suffolk copunty transit buses talk a lot on the county 800 mot system !

I have to disagree.

You'll mostly hear them on at night when the system is quiet. When the weather gets cold and things start to ice up - now that's when the MTA groups really start to pop up. Disabled buses, Icing conditions, etc are usually being announced.

I don't make a habit of listening to the MTA, but everyone once and a while, you have to turn off the ID Scan and to an ID Search

if you have a BC 346 XT ; BC 15 XT & new Home Patrol you will get the
i 00000 on the mta talk groups so some Id's don't come up!
