Please list your counties and the service they provide. For example, Nassau county FD and westchester county easily makes it way into NYC.

I know it depends whether you have a portable or mobile or what antenna gain you have and also your location. But list the frequency you heard outside of NYC while you were in NYC.

A few Rockland County frequencies make their way to the city easily, such as 46.18 Fire Dispatch and 154.725 Countywide Police.

Also interesting to note is that the transmitter on 159.225 for the NYS DEC Police that is used in the city is located in North Rockland on Jackie Jones Mountain (same location as the Rockland Countywide Police transmitter). You can frequency hear cars in the Bronx or Brooklyn calling "Central" on "Jackie Jones".

Orange County's Fire Page frequency (154.2050, 123.0) gets into Manhattan and the Bronx, particularly when used off the Arden tower in southeastern Orange. In addition, Highland Falls Police (160.2150, 151.4), off the Perkins Memorial watchtower, gets well into Manhattan
