Port Authority Frequency?

[gonzalu]

Picked this up with Close Call on the GWB this morning...

452.3875 dcs 412

Trying to figure out what it is... Licenses show PANYNJ as a potential but not sure.

Chatter was surveillance related but unclear if it was GWB security or Police Enforcement etc.

Thank you

PAPD @ the GWB uses the trunked system now. What you heard might have been security,but they still use the old system for tow trucks and maint. on the bridge. I dont know of any other agencies that use that frequency.

Thanks Mike... it has been silent since I first picked it up. I am about 1/2 mile from the bridge at work on the NY side so I should be able to pick it up if it fires up again

THE Port Authority may use this frequency at the World Trade Center per the FCC license, with authorization for mobiles in the NYC area.

The PA does not use this frequency at the WTC. They use the trunked system there as well as all other PA sites. Like I said before at the GWB they still use this frequency for maint., security and tow trucks as needed.

Wouldn't that frequency be 453.8000?

I don;t think so...

You won't find the frequency in the NYC Metro area search because that only shows results from counties, not from statewide, multi-state or wide-area agencies.

Please refer to the PANYNJ agency page for the conventional frequencies in use:

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

I know that, I was pointing out that the frequency I picked up is not the one mentioned and that one is not listed under the metro area officially.

Although I actually meant to search the FCC db not RR which is usually for confirmed frequencies

Does the PAPD still use the analog channel 453.400 for the central police desk as listed in the database?
