Ok NY, what's the consensus on the usage of low band freqs for NY police? Does anyone believe they are being used any longer? Besides 39.46 -and this is rare- I know of no agency utilizing the low band but are still licensed by many. The same applies to the EMA. A handful of 45.xx numbers...

In NYC region, it seems 46.XX is the most popular ones. Perhaps my antennas suck, but I never hear anything on the BCD396.

I would think in your locale it would be even less useful and or neccessary. Seeing how, and this is an assumption, there is more "money"? Probably not the best way I wanted to put that but the only way right now.

Low Band is still alive in the North Country. The "45.XX" frequencies are still used for Emergency Mgmt, ie SEMO, OFPC, and counties.

I suspect that should the dung hit the spinning blades again, the low band frequncies now considered dead may come to life. Kind of like the lottery... hey, you never know. Reminds me of a Monty Python bit.... what's brown and sounds like a bell?

DUNGGGG

That's kind of what I figured in a different discussion I had. Unless all these mobiles have a dual band antenna, which I suspect they don't, they'd have a lot of work to do getting radios installed in an emergency!
