Mike, are you sure thats the freq? FCC database has that freq listed to a Telemobile out of Smithtown.

Telmobile is who installed everything, so that's maybe why. But that is definitely the freq. Trust me, I spent all day yesterday programming and testing portables.

Sounds good, you guys were getting killed by upstate on 46.44
Where is the repeater located? Is KP still going to use 46.44 for 2's, 21's etc?

Repeater is on the tower at the Smithtown Parks Dept.
We're completely off 44. Everything is going through the high band.

That's great that KPFD has upgraded its operations. Though, the use of a license issued for the Industrial/Business pool is a blatant violation of FCC rules. The operations are illegal and if the license holder is complicit then they are in violation as well.
In the UHF T-band, in a given operating area, a license can be assigned to either the Public Safety pool or the Industrial/Business pool, but not both without a waiver. In this case is is assigned only to Industrial/Business, which precludes use by public safety.
Given that KPFD will be presumably building new infrastructure to support this system, what happens if there is a problem in the future? For example, what if KPFD experiences interference from another user and needs to make a complaint with the FCC? It might be difficult to seek legal protection when you don't actually have any. What if KPFD inadvertently causes interference to another user that complains to the FCC? The FCC makes no exceptions for illegal operators to remain on the air while they seek other alternatives.
The really interesting thing is that there are no pending applications to correct this. I do not personally think that the KPFD would knowingly violate the law. So, why would an agency assume that sort of risk? Why would Telmobile? Any thoughts?

Isn't the Smithtown Parks Dept on Rt. 347 in Smithtown?
Did you guys look into putting the repeater on the KP water tower?

I never thought I would see the day that Kings Park went high band. I remember when I worked at 4-2-0 for the short time, they switched over to 46.38, & then they quickly switched right back to 46.44.

The switch to 38 was temporary measure to try to help the situation with upstate killing us on the radio. As you stated it was very short lived cause it didn't help.

Problem with 46.38 is you're still getting interference from Putnam County, that's their tone out channel.
Putnam uses 46.38 & 46.44. They're at a higher elevation and the signal shoots right across the Sound. They don't hear us because they use PL's on their freqs, plus they use a duplex on 46.44 (units transmit on 46.54 & Putnam transmits back on 46.44, hence why we don't hear any units)

Signal is pretty good, they might need an extra receiver for the Fort Salonga "Hole" though!

Which frequency does kings park tone out on? And give there sig 2's and 21's? Tone out on 46.46 Listen to 472.9375 for ops (2's, 21's) This is the Rx (receive) freq or repeater output. Tx is the transmit freq (475.9375 - input to the repeater) You will only hear units if you are close enough, but listening to the output freq, you will hear it all! DPL is just a private line squelch code, so you dont get interference from other users on that freq (like maybe a PD upstate) Some scanners you can put in the DPL code, some can't. DPL is also the same as PL, DCS etc.. |

Just a correction it's PL 127.3 not DPL.
