171.3750 MHz R (PL 100.0 Hz)

This was coming in very weak. It sounded like the USCG, but I'm not sure. The conversation was something like this:

Unit: "Can you have all units switch over to <something, sounded like "north computer">?"
Base: "Station, 424 roger."

The base sounded like a USCG dispatcher. Does anyone know if this is the USCG and where this repeater is located? Thanks.

I just heard 424 on LANT 13 (164.9125 MHz R (PL 103.5 Hz and P25 Digital)). I'm thinking they said "north repeater", not "north computer" on 171.3750 MHz R (PL 100.0 Hz). LANT 13 is also known the "south repeater", so I believe 171.3750 MHz R (PL 100.0 Hz) is in the NYC area and is the USCG's "north repeater".

164.9125/103.5
USCG "South Repeater" is actually in the USCG 1st Southern District and covers from Sandy Hook to LI and up the Lower Hudson River. It has been theorized to be on top of the VZ Bridge. This area is called Sector New York.

171.375/100.0
USCG "North Repeater" is actually in the USCG 5th Northern District and covers the Jersey Shore and down to Delaware. I suspect that it is in Atlantic City, Philadelphia or Cape May. This area is called Sector Delaware Bay.

Thanks. I couldn't find it listed anywhere.

Did Lindsay say he was going to make a federal database paralellel to the regular one? Seems like I remember reading that somewhere.

I think he said that everything should be put in the Wiki, but I'm not 100% sure on that. The Wiki would be good to use for this, though.

A new common frequency database will be available in addition to the existing legacy RadioReference.com Database, to store frequencies for Cordless Phones, Federal, Military, Aircraft, GMRS/FRS/Itinerant, roaming businesses, and other common frequencies that have less of a locality, and more of an assignment perspective.

 

[Joseph11]

When is that going to be put in place?

No idea. Hope it's soon, though.
