How far can you hear someone on a walkie talkie?

For those who have used cheap walkie talkies (Family Radio Service or FRS as it’s known in the radio world), you have probably seen the packages advertise 22+ mile range and then been sorely disappointed when you can’t hear someone more than a block or two away in the city. Well 22 miles may be possible with two people standing on the top of mountains 22 miles away and nothing in between them with good transmitting weather, but giant concrete and steel buildings forming the canyons that is NYC means these signals are reflected, scattered, and spread so the range is dramatically reduced. It may surprise you to learn that these devices are transmitting at essentially the same power as NYPD radios in almost the same frequency range (465ish MHz for FRS and 475ish MHz for NYPD - incidentally freqs that would be used for UHF HDTV in other cities, NYPD gets special treatment from the FCC).

How many boroughs does the NYPD have?

NYPD in their on the ground operations divides the city not into the five boroughs, but 8 patrol boroughs which are a more fine-grained division of the city (for example, Brooklyn becomes North and South Brooklyn). Interestingly, these are not mirrored in their radio divisions which keeps a single patrol boro channel for each of the five boroughs. Discussion on these freqs are usually scarce and focused on non-critical command operations and updates.

How does the NYPD work?

The NYPD system uses something called talk-in, talk-out where each transmission is done over two separate frequencies. The way this works is if a patrol officer in 84/88 is making a call to dispatch, their radio will broadcast on 479.76250 Mhz. This signal is then heard by dozens of “voting receivers” installed all over that precinct (most have at least 20-30 of these within the precinct borders). A voting receiver is more sophisticated than a regular antenna and part of what makes NYPD’s system so unique. Our example transmission will likely be heard by several antennas, but we want to make sure the best quality is transmitted back to dispatch. All of these receivers are wired to a central device called a comparator (NYPD uses a Motorola GRV 8000 they had specially designed for the city) which compares the signal strength of all the receivers and sends only the best quality to dispatch (this is where the “voting” term comes from).

Why is encryption bad?

Encryption compounds some of these problems as it prevents easy interoperability work (say I’m NYPD and want to talk to FDNY to organize evacuation or clearing a fire, etc.) that can and has resulted in injuries and deaths in other places around the country prompting some to disable encryption completely from general operations.

What is tactical channel?

There is a subset of channels typically referred to as Tactical that are local only and do not utilize the repeater network. These are used for on the ground organizing and instructions similar to low power family or commercial walkie talkies. These cover patrols, narcotics, SOD, interop with FDNY, special security, Strategic Response Group (riot police), etc. and are completely localized. This means you must be within ~500ft (higher in some areas, lower in others) of the transmitting radio to pick up the signal. Again, these calls are not broadcast over the citywide repeater network or sent to dispatch.

How is NYPD able to communicate effectively with these low power units in a city with such dense radio blocking geography?

So how is NYPD able to communicate effectively with these low power units in a city with such dense radio blocking geography? The trick is hundreds and hundreds of antennas stationed all around the city wired into a massive receiving and transmitting network. This system is comprised of repeaters (these rebroadcast signals for more reach), voting receivers ( these receive transmissions from the weak portable radios), radio sites (where dispatchers receive the transmissions and reply), and emergency control stations with full double redundant wireless backup in case the wired backhaul network goes down.

What is a radio zone?

Radio zones are what NYPD calls their precinct level coverage. Due to a lack of available spectrum and a strategic choice for joint operations, most radio zones are actually two precincts geographically next to each other using a single band (for example Brooklyn 84/88 or Queens 105/113). There are a few single precinct radio zones due to their isolation (Queens 109 for example) and a few three precinct zones (Manhattan 25/28/32) but these are not the norm. As of writing, here are 33 radio zones (if we ignore Staten Island).
