I'm listening to Bklyn on 482.0125, can anyone tell me why I'm also getting the Da BX on the same freq.?
 
It's a 3rd now.  Did'nt hear it transmitted, but FC just told BD to have all 3rd alarm units into staging.

Now 2 add. trucks

The settings on your scanner should be for the steps in the UHF band to be set to 6.25Khz

Ok, I took the 482.0125 from Radio Reference.  What should the actual freq. be for Bkln?

Do I need to do the same for the other boro's & CW?

Comes up as 482.018 for Brooklyn on radioreference for me - what radio do you use?


Yep - that is what I manually enter.  However, when I press enter, the screen shows 482.0125.5 and all my steps are at 12.5khz (which is the factory setting).

450.00625-512.000 MHz are all 6.25 kHz steps

450.00625-512.000 MHz are all 6.25 kHz steps

To manually change the step, the 3 choices I have are 5kHz, 12.5kHz, 25kHz (and manually selected steps are erased when the power (scanner) is turned-off.  It does not give me 6.25kHz.  I'm using a Uniden Bearcat BC 890XLT

( FDNY BOX 1638 - BROOKLYN )  -  VERY SHORT LIMITED VIDEO OF THE FDNY OPERATING AT THE AFTERMATH OF A 3RD ALARM COMMERCIAL FIRE ON RUTLAND ROAD IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK CITY.
 
l see they were using the spare Pierce rescue, l know l read it but forget the circumstances as to why they have a Pierce and only one ?
 
Because they got it through a Homeland Security grant, and Pierce was what the federal government had the grant contract for. FDNY purchasing didn't buy it.

I had an 890 years ago which i think was before they started splitting the UHF in to a narrower band. they lowest steps for the 890 may be 12.5 and you don't have the ability to get to 6.25.
The Brooklyn frequency actually is 482.01875 but any scanner which doesn't have the extra decimal spot will just round it to nearest number.
