- Just showing the great reception of this digital scanner from my home location. If you have any questions about this scanner or hobby in general, feel free to comment below. If you want to see a video on how to operate any function of this scanner, let me know.
question can you do a video of your police scanner of nypd frequencies and fdny please
Sure, I will be happy to do a video monitoring NYPD. I don't have FDNY programmed in my scanner only because they tend to be so busy that I miss a lot of the police calls. Next time I have a chance, I will post a video monitoring NYPD though.
Hello Mr H,
Can you please do a vid of the FDNY and also can you tell me what the most inportant channel i can listen to when i'm going to new york city. I'am comming from the netherlands on a holiday for a week.
great vid by the way keep on going.

Not sure if I'll have a chance to do a FDNY video anytime soon, but will try if I have some more time. I can better answer your question if you tell me which part of NYC you will be staying/spending most of your time? And are you more interested in monitoring fire or police?
@@mrh.1107 Good Day Mr H,
I'am staying for the most of the time on my vacation mid-town NYC and iam interested in both channels!
@@MrFabio3872 Ok, the main frequency you should monitor is 476.5875. It is NOT digital and works in any scanner, even the cheaper ones. This is the frequency used by NYPD (Midtown area, approx between 29th and 59th street). You can also monitor Manhattan Transit Police on 471.0875. Manhattan FDNY uses 482.10625 however I don't recommend monitoring that one because it is so busy that you'll surely miss out on many police calls at the same time. Personally, I don't bother with monitoring FDNY on my scanner because I miss everything else. Hope this helps.
One more thing, I don't recommend walking around Manhattan with your scanner blasting on your hip. It will draw too much attention by both the police and thugs. I recommend either using earpods or just monitor from the privacy of your room.
Question: can anyone put the entire NJICS system into this scanner and listen to all the towns using it in the entire state?
No. You can only receive Sites closest to your location. For example, if you live in Essex County, you would only program/pick up the frequencies for the Essex County Site. If you let it scan ALL talkgroups, you will still only pick up channels/talkgroups assigned to the Essex County Site. Therefore, you still would not hear channels located in Cape May County i.e. if you are in Essex County.
what is the least expensive scanner that will work in NJ these days? Modern digital, for a novice?
Unfortunately, the one in this video. The Uniden BCD436, but it is expensive. Furthermore, if you want it to receive DMR too (which most hotels use now), then it costs another $50 - $75 to get that upgrade. If you choose to go with this scanner, order directly from the Uniden website. That way you know you are getting it in excellent condition. You could check for a used one on Ebay too, but only go with a seller with perfect feedback. There are no inexpensive scanners that can track Phase 2 TRUNKED systems, as most departments use now. If you only wish to monitor trains, planes, boats, and media helicopters, then you can go with a much cheaper scanner. This scanner is a learning curve, but is really easy to program (even manually) once you get the hang of it.
