[W1KNE]

This one is not in the database.

Tonight we have very good RX conditions across Long Island into NYC here in RI.
460.6000 156.7 several times, one point noted they were responding to "Winthrop University Hospital" which comes back to Mineola, NY.

However there are no cross matches to the DB.

Well, it seems that most of the fcc licenses for that freq in NY are on Longue Island. It could be the Jericho fire department or possibly the Atlantic Beach volunteer ambulance service. I'm leaning toward them, because they would be transporting people to hospitals possibly including the one you mentioned, because Atlantic Beach is near Mineola.

Fair Field FD Ct. 460.600 94.8 pl

Jerico FD Nassau 460.600 88.5 pl

Ocean Beach Suffolk 460.600 82.5 pl

Terryville Fd Suffolk 460.600 D 031

it could be NJ Ocean County area ! was picking that area up late afternoon around 5:30 pm and this am !

 

[mike4164]

It is most likely Jericho. They do run ALS ambulances in their FD. It could also be any of several other FD's in Nassau County as it is a very common freq. there for FD's. Alot of FD's in Nassau County run ambulances.

It Would Definately be the JERICHO FIRE DEPT (Nassau County)(Long Island N.Y) on 460.600--PL 88.5---They are a Stones Throw Away from WINTHROP HOSPITAL

460.60000----KRM915------192.8 PL----JCFD Channl2----Jersey City N.J-----Channel 2 Dispatch and F/G

460.60000----WNBW625----94.8 PL----FAIRFIELD FD----Fairfield Connecticut Fire Dispatch

Written above:

"...because Atlantic Beach is near Mineola....

Yeah, like Tampa Florida is near Savannah Georgia.

If you're not from the area don't make wild guesses like this. It only serves to misinform people.

Don, are you sure about Terryville? Here and W2lie list them 460.6000 167.9 PL.

It is most likely Jericho. They do run ALS ambulances in their FD.

Jericho's pl is 88.5. The op stated pl of 156.7

It could also be any of several other FD's in Nassau County as it is a very common freq. there for FD's.

Very common freq? Its only licensed to 18 agency's in New York State with only four on Long Island. 2 in Suffolk and 2 in Nassau.
KNAX730 OCEAN BEACH,
KEG503 JERICHO FIRE DISTRICT,
WNUY934 TERRYVILLE FIRE DISTRICT and
WPPC238 ATLANTIC BEACH RESCUE UNIT INC

Who else uses this freq?

or possibly the Atlantic Beach volunteer ambulance service. I'm leaning toward them, because they would be transporting people to hospitals possibly including the one you mentioned, because Atlantic Beach is near Mineola.

Call sign WPPC238 - ATLANTIC BEACH RESCUE UNIT INC
Output Power 2.000 Low power



The OP stated 460.6000 with a pl of 156.7. None of whats posted here matches that pl. I can not find a tone for Atlantic Beach as of yet for their 2 watt transmiter.

 

[ipfd320]

As the OP Stated (one point noted they were responding to "Winthrop University Hospital" which comes back to Mineola, NY)

I Would Highly Doubt it that Atlantic Beach Rescue would Txport 45 minutes Out of the Distric when they Have Long Beach Hospital (less than 10 min) and So.Nassau Hospital (not more than 15 min) away from them

Like i Posted Winthrop Hosp Is a Stone Throw Away from Jericho

Maybe the o/p typed the wrong pl??? / Maybe the pl Changed and Surprised all of us???

I doubt that also. I posted that they are licensed on the freq with low power (2 watts) and said I don’t have a pl. I never suggested that Atlantic Beach was what the OP was hearing.

Maybe the o/p typed the wrong pl??? / Maybe the pl Changed and Surprised all of us???

The op may have typed it wrong. That would make sense.

[FONT=&quot]Being that others, including yourself, posted Jericho with a pl of 88.5, makes me wonder if any of you are actually listening to Jericho to confirm the pl or just copy/paste whats on the web.

Dave--QUOTE (Who else uses this freq?)--LOOK Up at the Post time of 8:12 #5

There are fire depts. using freqs not licensed to them by the fcc.

Like

471.4375 DixHills Ops
462.6250 Huntington FD
472.47500 E Islip FD
472.9375 Kings Park

and so on. That’s why I asked who else uses this freq. Other than what’s posted above.

I guess we will see what w1kne says about the pl possible being posted wrong.

^ This.

I see this all the time, where guys copy/paste without verifying that the info is actually current and correct. One of the posters in this thread did it just yesterday in a different thread. Besides the fact that he copied/pasted it directly from Phil's site without giving any credit for the source, the list is four years old and might not even be completely accurate at this point.

I wind up having to reject submissions because of it. If you can't attest to personally hearing it with your own ears, then be careful about what you assume is current usage, and certainly don't submit it just because you found it on another site. :roll:

Oh and lol @ the guy from Indiana thinking that Atlantic Beach and Mineola are near each other. I agree with W2NJS, if you don't know the area then please refrain from making guesses about something hundreds of miles away from you.

 

[scannerman5555]

Like

471.4375 DixHills Ops that freq gone belongs to a radio repair service !
462.6250 Huntington FD that is a old GMRS buff freq from years ago !
472.47500 E Islip FD this freq work's belong to the Fire dept !
472.9375 Kings Park that freq belongs to a radio repair service ! Kings Park will be going there new freq soon we hope !

I Find it Amazing who Dave is Commenting to Hope it,s not to Me--(The op may have typed it wrong. That would make sense.

To be Exact have You Looked in the Radio Reference Data Base Jericho fd has a PL of 88.5 Listed

Anyway thats in the past---I Did some Research on 460.600 thru the Sourrounding States in the o/p areas and Not 1 out of Many (approx 26) had a PL of 156.7

 

[W1KNE]

When I return home next week, I will glady show the ARC-XT log which shows the multiple hits on that frequency, with that PL. And as I said, I heard that transmission, because I wrote down the Hospital's name in hopes of identifying the frequency using it.

I will check the log again, but I am 99.95% sure I am correct on what I logged.

I am a stickler about verifying what I log before I log it. I have so many "possibles" that I have logged, that never see the light of day, because I simply have no way to confirm their use. This one, I know I heard that Hospital name mentioned.
(460.6000 is a frequency I leave in "Tone Search" mode FT, and the night I logged that, I was receiving multiple departments from Long Island)

Totally confused by that.

To be Exact have You Looked in the Radio Reference Data Base Jericho fd has a PL of 88.5 Listed

Yes I did. And actually, everywhere I looked listed 88.5 as the pl. And like I asked, is anyone actually hearing Jericho using 88.5 or are people just copy/pasting whats in the data base.

It was pretty simple I thought.. I have not listened to them in a while and thats why I am asking. I will be listening tomorrow.


But since your positive about the pl, answer us this.

The thread starter/ OP asked about freq 460.600 pl 156.7 with mention of Winthrop Hospital.

You stated

It Would Definately be the JERICHO FIRE DEPT (Nassau County)(Long Island N.Y) on 460.600--PL 88.5---They are a Stones Throw Away from WINTHROP HOSPITAL

Now, are you saying its "definitely" Jericho because,

your confident the op listed the wrong pl?

because you think Jericho changed their pl?

Or because their a stones throw from the hospital?

Anyway thats in the past---I Did some Research on 460.600 thru the Sourrounding States in the o/p areas and Not 1 out of Many (approx 26) had a PL of 156.7

After telling me that Atlantic Beach would not transport from that distance, and being that theres only 1 Winthrop University hospital,(Nassau County NY), what was the significance of searching other states?

Just for the record, the "who else uses this freq" was directed at mike4164 after he stated this is a very common freq in Nassau. I listed the 2 Nassau Depts that are licensed. I wanted to know who, other than who is licensed operates on this freq. Possible a medcom freq.

Like Don Aka scannerman5555 pointed out, some freqs are licensed to the radio repair company's making it harder to Id a freq.

You Know I Tried to Help Out on Here in Many Ways That I Can--I Have Been a Radio Hobbiest for 42 Yrs
But all this Shooting Down and Comments are Really Making this Site Look Bad for Members and Communitys Input

Since when did this Site Become Politicall Correct

IM DONE with Radio Refrence

 

[robg5211]

The PL for Jericho is 88.5, yes we were going to Winthrop, why it was coming up 156.7????? don't know. Were you also listning to the input alot of other users on the input operating at times outside their licenced parameters. Can we lock this thread.......JFD #7

ipfd320 you said it I'm been scanning over 36 + years too ! from Brentwood L.I.;N.Y. most of the time !

 

[haleve]

I know who you guys are talking about but you have to take the bad with the good.

 

[GTR8000]

What's with all the crying in this thread all of a sudden? You guys need thicker skin if you think any of us were being insulting, c'mon now.

Please keep in mind that w1kne is a DB Admin. I can vouch for the quality of his research, and the chances that he confused 156.7 with 88.5 are pretty slim. Sure, we all make mistakes, but the fact that he posted hearing 156.7 and a bunch of people are insisting he's really hearing Jericho FD with 88.5 is puzzling.

Perhaps some of you guys complaining ought to review some of your own posts. That might shed some light as to why you have some of us respond the way we do. Just saying.

Calm down guys... Let's keep it civil.
