453.5625 - Schenectady

[kkr...@nycap.rr.com]

I found another channel during a search on Saturday. The frequency is 453.5625 MHz. and it had a DCS of 165. I hit on the channel as a unit (ambulance?) was giving a patient report, which was already half way through. The unit advised they had a 1-2 minute ETA. Ellis Hospital acknowledged the transmission and signed off. A search of the region does not show anything licensed for 453.5625 except for Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson. Is there a cross band to 155.400 in the Schenectady area, or is this a new channel for Schenectady FD EMS units to call in patient reports?
