Hurricane season is around the corner and that means more severe weather coming. The potential for flooding, damaging winds and tropical weather is high this year. Seeing that I'm probably not going to be out volunteering like I did during sandy and Irene, I thought I can put up a list of PS...

It's starting to sound like cb on these repeater as jammers are using fake or stolen callsigns and are jamming, cussing and playing music. I remember scanning these bands a couple years back and it wasn't like this now i locked this band on my scanner as its disappointing to hear. It's the hams...

Please list your counties and the service they provide. For example, Nassau county FD and westchester county easily makes it way into NYC. I know it depends whether you have a portable or mobile or what antenna gain you have and also your location. But list the frequency you heard outside of...

I foolishly pared down some of the original presets that came with my BC246T years ago when I didn't understand the lockout function. I've wanted all the original presets back but understand a factory reset will wipe everything and not restore the presets. I've found the original file floating...

Well, it looks like the FDNY VHF frequencies will be around for a while after all. The FCC has granted the city a rather significant last minute waiver for numerous VHF and UHF frequencies used by FDNY, NYPD, DOC and DEP. FDNY - The VHF frequencies in the 153/154 MHz range were granted a two...

All, I am working on my next column for the "Scanner Digest Newsletter", and was looking for input from those in lower NY (Long Island, NYC, Westchester). My current work conditions only allowed me to monitor via 'table top' scanning. In other words, back of radio telescoping antennas only...

Am I doing something wrong? Anyway, I had my BCD996XT set to SCAN the Talkgroups in the NYC Transit Authority system I programmed straight from RR db. I decided to switch it over to SEARCH and see what I picked up. I am picking up a lot of TG IDs not in the db. Did I do something wrong and am...

Greetings all, I've been using an old, conventional, non-trunking Radio Shack scanner with rubber rubber ducky and telescoping antennae, mainly to listen to SOD and traffic for newsgathering purposes. In low-RF areas, it works fine, and I like being able to make adjustments on the fly. In...

I've had this scanner for a while now without any problems. I reset it today because half my channels were locked out and had to scroll through all of them one by one to get to my desired channel so I reset it to start over. Now every time I try to enter a frequency from nyc out gives me an...

The Space Shuttle Enterprise is coming to NYC/JFK Airport next week, if you listened to the Discovery trip can you give us some tips? Frequencies, what the 747 callsign is etc. Thanks, Joe.

Anyone know the freq's to the DEP in Weschester County? Are they on the DOITT UHF or something else? Any info much appreciated? -R

Anyone know what freq(s) the operation on the street at the "Occupy Wallstreet" protests are? best

Hello, all. Years ago, I was a (very) casual hobbyist, but I haven't picked up a scanner since high school. On a whim, I just purchased a PRO-164 on Monday. I thought it would be an especially neat time, with the blizzard in the area and all. I'm admittedly pretty much a newbie, and I'm just...

Just wondering from you old timers if this site is up to date with its information on repeaters. can anyone advise me? Amateur and GMRS radio repeaters in New-York

Okay I know the old system was on VHF but are the firefighters Transmiting on VHF Repeaters or the UHF Repeaters. I'd assume there transmiting on the UHF since they always use their UHF fireground 486.1125 frequency. the last time I looked at a Firefighters belt i saw some kind of motorola xts...

I was looking at a list of VACS in the n2nov site and have notice that some use GMRS frequencies. unknown if its simplex or repeater operation. But isn't this not allowed on GMRS? http://www.n2nov.net/nycvolamb.html

They operate on 462.600 will a output PL of 151.4. At the begining of every hour, the station automated voice gives a time check. I also heard an automated voice say New york, New jersey, Connecticut. I dont know if this is a grandfather business, but its barely skimming me in Northern Brooklyn.
