UPDATED DISPATCH/FIREGROUND FREQUENCIES /PLs /DPLs

sendthejob · 06-06-2007, 02:28 PM

How can you expect to keep a FCC Licensed frequency on the 'down low'?

That info is availible on their website as is any other Licensed frequency...

By the 'air' of your post sounds like they are causing trouble? I know that the chiefs out in western Sufflok (especialy in the Huntington area) aren't happy with them last I heard....

Yah, their freq isn't on the FCC website under a name you'd search for.
Their freq was revealed on other websites, and the owners of LIBNS made complained to the moderators to have the posts removed.

I'm curious to know what they are stirring up by you. Do you mind shooting me some of the details in a PM?

The Freeport FD Frequency 460.3625 (which it says is their Operations/Repeater) frequency.... do they go 21, 22 on that... in other words, does the dispatcher get on that frequency ever?

w2lie · 06-08-2007, 11:05 PM

I'm almost 99% sure........YES

You can try 453.000, that is where a lot of the Media stations exchange info.
If you know the freq for Citywide 1 NY, you can listen there too.... but those are mostly NYC stuff

I have some buff groups on my live feed. (not LIBNS - don't want any trouble)

We are now rolling off topic.

W2IE is correct...

and for the record LIBNS freq was posted here and removed by request...so please noone post it here...thankyou

Anyone know when and why Bellmore-Merrick EMS changed to 460.1750 from their old 461.075? I just found out about this recently.........

LtDan · 06-30-2007, 03:18 PM

LIBNS is 206.5 i think. Not positive.

And they can change it, there is always a way to find out so it's not a secret.

FDACTIONSHOTS · 07-03-2007, 11:31 PM

It's interesting listening to LIBNS, Although there are "issues" certain departments have with one, possibly two individuals-

Overall they seem to be a good solid bunch of guys, with a system that for the most part operates quite effectively.
The system, although I won't post details (since this seems to be frowned upon) operates quite well... It's too bad they're not interested in taking on more members other than " a friend of a freind, etc...".

There are probably now about 6 people who've PM'd me (on other boards)asking how to join.
Why in heaven they're PM'd me is unknown. I've never answered.

Kudos to a system that functions well......

LtDan · 07-04-2007, 12:20 AM

I agree, it is infact a good system and I applaud them for the operation they run, I hear them trying to keep the system on track with correcting people for putting over unnecessary incidents. Keeping it tight isn't a bad thing but eventally they should open doors. Imagine a system that covered the whole Island. The intent is good. . .

If anyone would like an updated list of frequencies in MS Excel format just PM me your e-mail addresses and I'll send you the list.

Speed Deamon · 07-17-2007, 03:51 PM

what does DPL mean, and sometimes you see a frequency and it says "input to" what does that mean?

tellmware2go · 07-17-2007, 07:33 PM

D- Digital
P- Private
L- Line

Input to the input frequency for a repeater radio system.

Speed Deamon · 07-17-2007, 08:52 PM

So when I put the DPL frequency into my scanner, what does that do?\
Is it something like it will only give me the radio traffic coming through a certain repeater?

w2lie · 07-17-2007, 10:05 PM

Yes and no..

DPL, is the digital version of PL (Private Line), aka CTCSS.

Multiple users can share a frequency. To keep users separate, you can use PL/DPL. It is a subaudible tone that is transmitted, and decoded by the receiver. If the same combo is used, you will hear the conversation. If the PL or DPL does not match, then your radio will not break squelch, and you won't hear the conversation.

NOW, if you do not program in a PL/DPL into your receiver, then you are listening in Carrier Squelch, and you will hear everything on the frequency you are listening too....regardless of the transmitter's PL/DPL programming.

Long story short:
- If you do not program PL/DPL, chances of hearing something you did not intend to listen to increase...
- If you program in the incorrect PL/DPL, you will not hear what you planned on hearing

Speed Deamon · 07-18-2007, 01:27 AM

Thank you, that clears things up alot, but I have just one more question. Is a DPL something you program into the scanner with the frequency, how does that work? I'll just pick a department at random, Elmont 453.5375 DPL 466.
What do i do with the DPL466?

And with some departments, you will se a frequency listed, then it would say input to, and give you another frequency. for example

153.920 - Garden City - Input to 154.815
what does that mean?

What radio are you using? Not all scanners can decode pl/dpl.
If your radio can decode pl/dpl, yes, you would program in the pl/dpl with the frequency, according to your instructions. Again, what radio are you using?

Input is the frequency used to transmit on, to talk to the repeater.

A repeater listens on one frequency, and transmits on another.
A repeater is a good way of getting much greater radio coverage than you would normally be able to with just a handheld or mobile radio.
So, If you were to TALK on Garden City's repeater, you would set your radio to transmit on the Input, and receive on the output.
For listening only (scanners), you only put in the output (or the given freq that is NOT labeled input)

bmvac changed over i think b/c a bus company has a more powerful repeater on 461 than their repeater and it was messin with them somehow

like it matters... they'll turn the call anyway
