I was looking at saia website and it lists having two sites :

Site 005: Cheektowaga, NY (Erie County)
Site 009: Machias, NY (NE Cattaraugus County)

there was nothing i found in the database about these two sites. Anyone have any information on them? What is the frequencies or control channels? I was driving down St Rt 16 at the Erie/Catt county line and saw the Saia building with the tower and was just thinking i have never heard of a site down there.

If you are looking at the Saia tower site list, that is a list of their towers not all of which are necessarily SaiaNet sites at this time.

Site 009: Machias, NY (NE Cattaraugus County) this was listed on their website so i assumed it was active. Like i mentioned i was on St rt 16 yesterday in machias and saw a building and tower that said saia communications on the front of the building.

It probably is active but they provide services other than SaiaNet.

I agree with you, just because its in a SaiaNet building, it doesn't necessarily mean its on a specific system (as stated above specially "in the database" here in RR).

Could also be Saia just doesn't update their website often too.

Also as Kh2z and countless other members have said before; the RR database is hobbyist driven so the info you see on this website may not be all there.

SaiaNet is only one part of Saia's business. Their list of tower sites on their web site is not the same as the SaiaNet coverage map and info. A Saia owned tower site may or may not be a SaiaNet site. The tower may be used for other business purposes.

Looking at the info for Machia Site 9 on their Tower list, which would be of interest to potential site tenants or leased private system uses, the columns for "Receiver UHF/TTA" and "Multicoupler" are No/None. So it apparently is not presently a UHF site. They may be leasing tower space to others or providing private systems for customers.

Rt 16 is Saia, Chaffee office. Tower is for bench techs.

Maybe that site is used for other things, like Microwave relay, etc.

Holy crap how many times do we have to go over this. They can be on any site at anytime depending if a USER affiliates to that SITE with a TG.
Also don't use the word "tap" affliated,associate, even access.

Also for the Chaffee site all I need to say is Bruceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
