I know REMCS still handles the dispatching for Northstar but I never hear them being paged out anymore on REMCS channel 5. Are all of there comms strictly on the NJSP system now?

I don't think the pagers voice would work out in Somerset county, But I wouldn't be shocked if the pager tones would activate.. Those where the days when the ship was stationed at UMDNJ at night I live in Harrison on a third floor so when they took off heading to the south I would see them and always hear them 127.850 calling the Newark Tower. For the pateints sake it was a good move it really cut response times out to those western northern nj counties.
