New Years Eve

[Pyro658]

In prep of New Years at Times Square, do we know what channels to listen to for NYPD other than MTN MTS channel? I can not recall what channels I held down last year but I remember like 4 or 5 others. thanks for the help and merry christmas/happy new year!

For Times Square directly:

MTN, MTS 17
Citywide 1,2,3
SOD
EMS Manhattan Central
EMS citywide 1

But other areas get crazy

Almost all of Bronx goes up in flames so all the Bronx channels

Manhattan: 25.28.32, 19.23, 33.34, 1.5.7, 20.cp.24,

Brooklyn: 60.61, 63.69, 67.71, 73.75, 77.79, 81.83

Queens: 103.107, 105.113, 110.115,

Staten Island: 120.121

Also, I would monitor the NYPD Aviation channel, 123.100 I believe. As well as Citywide Media

NYC MEDIA

With the exception of IFB audio, don’t expect much on the 450/455 MHz media frequencies. All assignment calls are via cell phone.

As stated earlier MTN,MTS,17th and EMS are all good channels but if you want just NYE then I would stay with CW 1 2 and 3. However if you are in the area of the ball drop then you should be able to get the TAC channels

I am in NJ but was able to monitor the tacs from home. I will just have to scan around a little and see what I come up with for TAC use. Also you guys left out Port Authority Bus terminal is another good one to listen too.

That's good you can get the TAC channels in NJ, I'm in NYC and can't get them on both a handheld and desktop. Port Authority is good but I think they are coverd by the MTN,MTS frequency. I know there is a PAPD channel but that covers bridges and tunnels not just the bus terminal. Usually on big events like NYE I keep my scanner on either the CW or SOD frequency and just switch over when I hear a good call at a pct.

Happy and healthy new year to you!

Bus terminal Port authority officers are on the PAPD Trunked system under Interstate Ops

Just heard a unit come over cw4 with a radio check. Clear, analog. Listed as p25 encrypted though.

 

[Danny37]

I'm actually surprised you can receive Tac channels in Jersey. Since they are low powered simplex operations.

 

[Analogrules]

Is CW 4 in the clear again? Or was it just that one transmission?

 

[Pyro658]

CW 4 should be analog clear. It was on NYE.

I'm hearing SOD on CW 4 right now loud and clear analog. Chuck.
