Rochester Area:
158.19 Gas Dispatch
451.100 Electric
Rural areas:
37.620 Genesee Valley
37.460 Canandaigua
37.720 Lakeshore (Wayne Co)

All are PL 167.9. There may be occasional electric construction and storm restoration activity on 451.050 (Monroe West) and 451.250 (Monore East) but main electric operations are on 451.100.

So remember that I am still trying to learn this stuff...

I figure that if I want to try and catch RG&E transmissions during a power outage I would monitor possibly the following. Are these analog or digital? If analog, should I be able to pick them up with my Icom IC-R2 receiver? I am not clear on the 167.9 part either. I seem to only have AM,FM and WFM to choose from until I get mt PSR500 next week.

RG&E customer service 451.1000 167.9
RG&E power lines 451.0250 167.9
RG&E west construction 451.0500 167.9

Most RG&E electric is on 451.100 now, 451.025 appears to be no longer used.

451.050 West and 451.250 East may be active in a major storm event or used by constuction crews but
most normal activity is on 451.100 FM analog The PL is 167.9 if your scanner supports it.

There is not a lot of activity due to a lot of routine operations done by MDT and cell phones.

Gas Dispatch is 158.190 FM PL 167.9

They should be in the RRDB by now.

If not, try Monroe County Utilities

Dave,

That Monroe County Utilities list is almost totally obsolete now. The only thing valid is Fairport Electric and the RG&E frequencies I mentioned above. 153.530 appears to also be unused now. The 37 MHz channels for the RG&E Districts are still used but not in Monroe County. The "security" frequency was a contractor they used years ago and the "Ginna Telemetry" was only used briefly over 20 years ago for an experimental siren control system.

NYSEG is trunked P25 VHF and National Grid is VHF P25 conventional but their repeaters are in Ontario County. All their low band is gone long ago.

Frontier Tel cancelled their license for 451.500 in 2004 and the frequency has been used by a taxi company since then.
