[millwood127 0]

I have noticed in the past 2 weeks that every 30 minutes or so there is a constant noise on briarcliffs 46.26 repeater frequencies 460.1125 that lasts about a minute or two has anybody else noticed this and does anyone know why or what this is for

I have noticed the same thing only with the Peekskill repeater

I've heard it. Whatever is going on it's happening somewhere on 46.26 and the cross band repeater/s just retransmit whatever signal is present.

This has also happened on Cortlandt VAC, Peekskill VAC and 46.26 Montrose, Peekskill, Croton that I know of at the same time.

The problem seems to be coming from the Peekskill RESCO plant communications equipment.

IT IS SOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!

As a matter of fact, I believe it was "stuck" on 46.26 last night during the Ossining fire, because Croton units were trying to call 60 Control and we couldn't hear them.

I feel like every transmitter at one point or another acts up - there's got to be a better solution. Perhaps we can all communicate via smoke signal?!

Haha John just hope it is not a windy day or foggy day and your luck you send up a smoke signal and someone will call in for smoke in the area. lol

But on a Serious note is there any way of fixing the towers becasue i know in the past week there were time we had a call and the fire house and ambulance pagers never acatived

I think there should be a relook at this system back when I was a kid I could remember there was never a problem with 46.26

As long as the Hen Hud transmitters are working fine, you should get your pages. Montrose FD, Buchanan FD, Verplanck FD/EMS and Cortlandt VAC all get dispatched from Hen Hud. If there's a problem with any transmitters in Peekskill or even Croton it should have no effect on you guys getting your dispatches.
