33.96

[Guest DFFD227]

Can anyone tell me all the FD agencies that are dispatched off of 33.96? Thanks in advance!

[mikeinet 37]

Off the top of my head: Millwood, Mt. Kisco, Golden's Bridge, North White Pl.,

I know there's more... someone fill in the rest

[57truck 1]

Mt. Kisco is dispatched off 46.26 and 33.96

Pound Ridge is off 33.96 and 46.26 simulcast

Both Goldens Bridge and Millwood are dispatched off 46.26 not 33.96

[Guest Lieutenant6474]

The 46.26 Dispatch that you hear for Millwood is actually a simulcast as is for Pound Ridge I believe. They tone primarily off of 33.96

To my knowledge the following depts are 33.96 primary dispatch... Don't quote me on the ones with stars next to them though

Mt. Kisco

Greenville *

Fairview *

Peekskill *

New Rochelle

Pound Ridge

The county had a great idea many moons ago to get dispatch off of 46.26 so that it could be used as a fire ground freq. However... Big ego's and an unwillingness to change by many dept's. made it unpopular. Kisco and Millwood had the right idea by being some of the first to move off to separate freq. As far as I am concerned, dispatch should be 1 channel for all dept's (except White Plains, Mt. Vernon, Yonkers etc.) Then there should be 6-8 other channels that when apparatus sign on the air they are assigned to. For example... on 46.26 "Rescue10 is 10-17".... "10-4 Rescue10 your fire channel is #4 at 1430hours" now the rig switches to channel #4. It's so simple it's not even funny. EMS (non fire or rescue related) should be dispatched on a totally different freq.

Primary 33.96 Dispatch

Mt. Kisco is only Simulcast on 46.26 to activate the horn . Pagers are on 33.96

Greenville - Station alert 33.96 / Vol. Pagers 46.26

Fairview - Station alert 33.96 / Vol. Pagers 46.26

Peekskill - Station alert 33.96 / Vol. Pagers 46.26

New Rochelle - Station alert 33.96 / Rigs 46.06

Pound Ridge - 33.96 pagers only

Millwood 33.96 pagers / 46.26 Silmulcast so the chief not carring his pager can hear the run on the radio in his car.. LOL

I can not agree more.33.96 and 46.26 should be TONE ONLY !!!

Mt Kisco did a short test by using 46.42 for the rig to control frequ. and it failed. There were afew reasons for this.

Coverage was very poor from the MT Lakes Tower.

ALsoo Bridgeport Conn. is also on 46.42 which BOOMS in at 60 control. now the glitch is Brdgeport has a channel guard and Westchester does not.

The easy fix would be to PL 46.42 along with 46.14.

Now you ask why not then use 46.14 for the rig to control ?? Well Green County operates on 46.14 as there main and 46.26 as Chan. #2. The problem is that 60 Control hears all of this chatter and keeps 46.14 turned down. Now when Westchester uses 46.14 it steps on Green county ..

This is a real mess!!!

Chief Volk of WCDES has now installed a 46.26 transmitter on the roof of Norther Westchester Hospital. This is also a multi-channel transmitter.

I hope that his may turn 46.42 back up for the Norther Districts.

One correction-

Montrose VA is not, nor has ever been dispatched on 46.26.

Station alert is on 33.96 from 60 control.

60 may call the apparatus on 46.26 if apparatus is out of the station and no one acknowledges on 33.96.

[RWC130 594]

Peekskill FD is no longer on 33.96.

Peekskill FD Dispatch 453.225

Peekskill FD Link to 46.26 453.875
