DIDNT REALIZE TY
SCPD is giving up the old Command Vhf 155.685 to the NYSP, because their Vhf is getting interference.
FCC wanted the freq to have activity on it. So, in the meantime - SCPD is patching Command on 800 trunked with the old Command Vhf.
Its TX only (off the Hauppauge Tower), but all the receivers are off, so you can't talk in on Vhf.
Brings back memories for a lot of us....

I see it is already licensed to NYSP effective 9/07/2024. Multiple sites in Suffolk and Nassau.
It's a daily occurrence up here that I get interference from Troop L while listening to Troop K on 155.505 PL110.9 because Troop L has the exact same frequency as PL. I'm sure Troop L is getting interference from Troop K as well. Good Move.
My only guess, is that SCPD will allow NYSP to use all of their existing equipment for the old Command Band freq. SCPD still maintains 1 main Tx site and at least 10 remote receivers within the 5 western towns. My guess is that NYSP will build on to the existing.
Noticed on the fcc listing it’s also licensed for p25 conventional?
NYS DEC and I believe NYS Park Police added that emission a while back and around here I have not heard it used.
Adding P25 as an option is pretty much standard on any new or modified Public Safety licenses. It does not imply any immediate plans to use it.
I remember listening when I was a kid from New London. Very busy frequency especially in the summer months. I recall the air unit being on there frequently.
