I have heard a few times that Broome County (or somone in Broome Cty) has a UHF simulcast/link of 155.340 (Hospital 1). I have never heard it or seen a UHF freq link to this. Can anyone confirm or debunk this for me?
Broome County 155.340 UHF link?

I'm in Broome County and I'm not aware of any UHF simulcast frequencies for 155.340.
I'm constantly logging most of the activity in the area and I 'probably' would have noticed if there was one.
I'll pay closer attention and let you know if I find anything.
I'm in the northern part of the county and 155.340 reception can be 'spotty' here so a simulcast would be nice.

I should have mentioned that there are two fire band repeaters I'm aware of.
They repeat low band fire (33.90 MHz), so EMS dispatch & tones may be heard on them, but not the 155.34 MHz activity.
They are:
154.1750 - DPL 155 (Kirkwood)
453.6250 - PL 67.0

Edit: Just for completeness, I've attached a txt file of all of the FCC assigned UHF frequencies in Broome County as of Jan. 13, 2013

Simulcast
I have 452.125 179.9 listed as "HEAR simulcast" licensed to United Healthcare for Wilson Hospital. I think from what I remember it was to be used to allow ED staff to monitor the channel while away from they base radio. I have not personally monitored it, however.

Thanks for the tip.
I'll program the following United Healthcare frequencies into one of my logging scanners and run it for a few days.
I'll let you know if anything interesting comes up. (Both input and output frequencies)
By the way, I'm in the northern part of Broome county within easy walking distance to Chenango county. Most of those transmitters are low power and may not reach here.

I can confirm that, at least at my home, 452.125 MHz isn't simulcasting 155.340 MHZ.
(Though there may still be a very low power simulcast within, or near, the hospital.)
Here's an image of my desktop running two instances of SDRSharp.
The image on the left shows that while 155.340 is active, nothing is received on 452.125.
By the way, the other big signal in the waterfall to the left (in red) is 155.250 MHz Chenango County Sheriff.

I looked at the license to that freq with UHS. It shows a tx power of 25 watts at Wilson hospital. The real transmit power could be much less. I work in EMS so I will check when im on shift on Thursday.
No activity on 452.125 on CSQ at Wilson.

I guess that makes it unanimous,
I'll keep my eyes (and ears) open on other frequencies.
