B=470.0000 MHz, O=470, S=25.0 kHz, ChLow=470, ChHigh=759. (This last config is a placeholder only, until the 471 & 472 channels are brought up and their real B/O/S is available. There may end up being 2 more configs for them.)
Talkgroups
Roads or Public Works?
09648 = Supervisors
09680 = Dispatch
09712 = North

Future users of the TRS
Sherrif's Dept.
Prosecutor's Office
South Bound Brook Police
Park Rangers

Channel Designations by the TRS:
Ch1 = 502.8375 (CC in past)
Ch2 = 502.6875 (CC 11/17)
Ch3 = 501.9125 (CC 11/17)
Ch4 = 502.6125 (CC in past)
Ch5 = 502.5625
Ch6 = 502.5375
Ch7 = 502.5125
Ch8 = 500.3375
(channel numbers are theirs, and don't necessarily bear any relevance to programming scanners)
Testing of the new TRS continued yesterday. The County OEM Director (LeRoy Gunzelman) and various radio technicians were heard on the air with a talkgroup of 9680 - Analog. Also heard radio technicians this AM.
Some county employees were heard on talkgroup 11440 - Analog. So far, so good!
Confirmed during testing this morning:
09648 = Supervisors
09680 = Dispatch
09712 = North
09744 = South
(all are analog)
The exact department is not 100% confirmed, but is very likely Roads.
Sounds like 11440 is North Plainfield & Watchung Fire. So far mostly talk-around stuff, can't tell if is it future dispatch or future officers' channel or what.
Have heard 50s & 60s unit identifiers, heard a NP rig going in service into Green Brook, and similar. Someone acknowledged the rig going in service, and I was on the fringes of reception, but I got the impression it wasn't a dispatcher.
Do you think that its possible that they are patching NP's fire frequency into the system?
Since posting I determined it is not the dispatch repeater patched in; monitoring both at the same time and they have different traffic. It could be a conventional talk-around channel patched, but based on the conversation (discussion of the speaker-mics degrading transmit quality on HT1250s) it seemed to be radios residing on the trunked system.
Also, while I couldn't watch live, there are a handful of radio ids in my Trunker log for that talkgroup, not just one for the patch link.
Over the weekend I caught some traffic (Saturday morning to be exact) on that talkgroup, 11440, which seemed to be some sort of testing going on for the system. The person mentioned they were just getting on the NJ Turnipke and everything was loud and clear, and that they would test again when they got to Jersey City.
Trunk System very active today, talkgroup 9712. Sounds like its being used by county transportation for a large picnic at the Methany School.
