U.S. Park Police / Liberty SP

[SCPD]

Anyone know what the frequencies are for the above. I cannot find in the RR db.

Thnks.

 

[jaymatt1978]

Try 166.3250 and 167.0750

 

[SCPD]

Try 166.3250 and 167.0750

Where did you find that? Is it PL or DPL, P-25?

Thanks,

148,

The frequencies provided are used by the US Park Police for the entire Gateway National Recreation Area. 136.5 is used on both F1, 166.325R and F2, 167.075.

Regarding the Liberty State Park portion of your question...

My notes show the NJ state Park Police's (151.190, 179.9 and 159.300) and the State Park Service's (159.465, 179.9) usual frequencies in use.

I have the NJ stuff. I was LSP last weekend and I saw they had VHF antenna's on their vehicles, so I thought I would check it out.

But from the RR database they are P-25 so i'm out of luck. I haven't purchased a digital scanner yet.

Thanks for the post,

Bob

159.465 and 151.1900 ARE NOT digital, I think they are used around the Liberty Science Center!

NJ DEP and US Park Police = 2 separate agencies

The NJ Environmental Protection Dept. of Parks and Forestry is separate from the US Park Police. The NJ Environmental Protection frequencies/use can be found here in RR: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=602

The US Park Police/Gateway National Recreation uses 166.325, 167.075, 169.400 (Sandy Hook). I believe the Liberty Science Center is patrolled by the US Park Police if I'm not mistaken. Let's not get these two separate departments confused, although it is easy to do so.

The DEP/State Park Police cover the outer areas of the park. Where you actually buy you're ticket and go through the check-in is USPP. If they are not P-25 I would be surprised. The USPP that is.

LIBERTY STATE PARK is NEW JERSEY STATE DEP which is 159.4650 is in the clear! The STATUE OF LIBERTY is USPP and they might be digital

 

[maalox]

statue of liberty uses 166.6375 p25. and ellis island.

 

[jaymatt1978]

I got it. The Statue of Liberty aka _Liberty Island and Ellis Island are USPP which is digital according to you guys. LIBERTY STATE PARK in NJ which houses the Liberty Science Center is patrolled by NJDEP. I know LSC is NJ State Property beause it say so on their website. So they are on 159.4650. I have heard "Liberty" on 159.4650.

Yeah, I live very close by, and I usually hear LSP police on ch 1, a repeated system and ch 5, which is simplex. I have heard JCPD use ch 5 to reach the LSP park police. All of that is in the clear. Ch 5 is usually used by the park police to talk to one another within the park. Ch 1 is usually used for registration checks, etc. All in the clear. The ULS only lists one transmitter location for the Ch 1 repeater - way out in Trenton, I believe. That's quite a haul from Jersey City!

For the US national park police, you want the NYFO (new york field office) frequencies - these are also in the clear, and the units that patrol in the area use the NYFO frequencies for vehicle registration checks and the like. This is a wide mix of the national parks traffic in the NY region, but does include some liberty/ellis island operations as well as the units in Liberty State park (e.g., the guys guarding the land bridge to ellis island) and over in battery park. All that is in the clear also, FM repeaters. No mention in ULS where the heck the transmitter/receiver sites are.

I'm fascinated by the coverage the repeaters have for both agencies above - LSP apparently is dispatched out of Trenton/Montclair, and the NYFO has a very wide coverage area, as the parks are all over the place. Must be voters in place for receive, and the transmitters...? Maybe a single-frequency network?

n3wrx,

You won't find any details about federal systems in the Universal Licensing System because the Federal Communications Commission is not responsible for licensing federal agencies. The National Telecommunications and Information Administation handles that function.

I love how our government just decides to take ownership of spectrum and auction it off for cash.

 

[gcr33]

Rescue 148 are you on the right thread? The Federal Govt. is using a portion of the band assigned to them. Where was anything auctioned off in this thread?

It shows you the level of thought when persons on this thread do not know that Liberty Island and Ellis Island are Federal Parks, not state parks.

Of course there was the person who challenged where someone was trying to help by posting the information.

I wonder how many of you have ever been to Ellis Island and / or visited the Statue of Liberty?

Ok folks, here's one for investigating:

I was at Liberty State Park yesterday for the 4th of July and was monitoring the US Park PD channels, as well as the Liberty Monument freq. I heard them talking on the main repeater 166.6375 (4F9), and heard them refer to this as "channel 4." One of the guys said "go up to ch 5." After going into search mode, looks like Channel 5 might be 168.6125 (293). Can anyone visiting the area or that lives close by verify that for me??? It's in a simplex mode, so I won't be able to get it from where I'm at here in Edison.

Also, are the boats still using the 166.8875 (103.5) freq.? I haven't heard any chatter recently on it... ???

Thanks in advance!

 

[scannersnstuff]

the 166.6375 is a snooze. been monitoring it for about a week just to hear how well my bcd396xt does in digital. come's in l/c in monmouth county n.j.

 

[CqDx]

I work a block away from Battery Park so I can give 168.6125 a try.

The other frequency that I have confirmed used by 163.575 (4F9). There are very few transmissions during the day.
