Wallington FD/Woodridge FD (Bergen County) share same frewquency?

[xpawel15x]

154.1600 146.2 is both Wallington FD and Woodridge FD ? What if I only want to listen to 1 town and not the other? Why is this frequency and the same PL shared??

EDIT: and CARLSTADT has same FD frequency and same PL as well.... :/

It's dangerous, it's crazy, it's impossible. ONLY IN JOISY.

46.26 was used by almost EVERY fire department in Westchester Co. Rockland Co. uses a common channel, Orange Co. same thing.

Why would they need their own freq? Does every teeny itty bitty borough need it's own channel for everything? It's called interoperability.

Why even in NYC Staten Island and the Bronx share a channel. It works for them and they have at least 100 more people then that combined population of the two boroughs.

Of course, Staten Island and the Bronx are separated by a pretty long stretch of land mass known as Manhattan...

Half the towns in Bergen County share the same dispatching frequency. I c ould rattle off half a dozen towns that dispatch on 158.7600, using separate dispatching site. I never heard anyone else complainign, it's just the way things are setup

You should listen to 154.1750 123.0 pretty much all towns in NWBMA (Northwest Bergen Mutual Aid) are on that for primary, with the exception of Oakland,Mahwah and Franklin Lakes and Saddle River and Upper Saddle River. All the other listed towns have the capability to transmit on that as well.

 

[xpawel15x]

All these towns that share the same frequency and PL do they hear each and every town transmiting on it? Or is it simplex that every town just hears themselves?

 

[onsceno]

158.76 pl 100.0 (PASCOM 1 aka Pascack Valley) with the exception of Washington Twp all dispatch on this freq. 166.25 pl 100.0 aka PASCOM 3 has 2 repeaters (1 for Westwood FD for Firecom 100 and the other for Hillsdale for Firecom 300). All others up this way operate on this freq on simplex with the exception of one, which I dont remember off the top of my head... which uses 158.76 100.0 simplex.

154.175 up in the NORCON area is a simplex fireground for about 5 towns or so on a pl of 123.0. Power is not low enough for each town to strictly hear themselves. But, just one more notch in the bedpost for INTEROPERABILITY! Dont fix it if it aint broke type thing cuz as far back as I remember 154.175 has been the NORCON (area) fireground.

This all I feel like typing at the moment but I think it gets the point across.

Actually Chris things have changed somewhat. NORCON has a set of 7 channels that are in all FD's units. Fire 2 154.2800 123.0 is now Response 1 Fire 3 154.1450 107.2 is Operations 1 and F4 is 154.2650 123.0 is now Response 2 and F5 153.8300 123.0 is now Operations 2 and F6 154.0700 123.0 is FAST TEAMS only and of course F7 158.9400 123.0 is the Dispatch/tones. All units also have Countywide 154.2800 156.7 for interops. Plus Wyckoff and Ramsey FD's have their own firegrounds to switch to, so that takes some of the traffic off 154.1750.

Washington Twsp uses 158.7600 pl=107.2 in simplex mode for fireground use. The towns using PASCOM 3 do have access to both Westwoods and Hillsdale's repeater.. As a matter of fact most towns have the repeater as channels 15 and 16 in their radios. Towns use 158.8800 as a secondary fireground

The Bronx and Staten Island are not that far apart. Any scanner in the Bronx can hear SI.
The big boys put out a lot of RF.

How about a county wide trunking system with each borough having their own dispatch, tac A, tac B, training tac, inspectors, mutual aid, haz-mat, and any other you can think of why I will bet that would be perfect. There should be no commons because you surely don't want any teeny tiny borough talking to another teeny tiny borough of a few thousand residents. Why when both officers are on duty they could have several police talkgroups to keep them occupied. What happened to the original large townships that these fiefdoms were divided up from? Oh, and don't complain about high taxes or costs associated with public safety. No paid ambulances either, it's better to wait an hour for an EMS volunteer to drop off their kid at karate and then go get the rig. Wonder how many have died or been worse off because of these fifedoms?

I didn't say they anything of them don't have access to 166.25 (FIRECOM aka PASCOM 3). Was stating their primary uses. As for Washington Twp, I did say they don't use the same pl on 158.76... oh wait, you're probably still mad at me for Paramus I guess, huh?

Who do you think helped program PASCOM's Fieldcom?

Better luck next time cranky.

 

[jaymatt1978]

You helped program the PASCOM fieldcom?? Then you should have NO PROBLEM providing me with the full radio plans!! We b oth know you have them!!

Yeah my website has a few errors, I never said I had 100% correct information. However being a Paramus dispatcher gives you an unfair adva[ntage because you have all the infomation! You said you offered it to me and I got nasty however plenty of people have submitted information for the website and I have NEVER given them any trouble! So please send me what you have so I can add it to my website!
