FDNY Subway Repeaters

[tbendick 27]

The two FDNY Subway Repeaters have been placed live south of 59street in Manhattan. Anyone who was monitoring this freqs might have been hearing RNC stuff on them during the convention.

However there are no setup in 48 Zones.

Each zone is independent of the other and covers about one station. Members in the subway can travel from one zone to another and not have contact with members in the first zone.

The use of the Post radio from street level will cover more then one zone because of it's power. So the IC should be able to maintain contact with more then one zone.

The thing to note is that these are low power repeater setups and you won't hear them unless you are near by.
