New Troop B Channel Plan

[r60]

Let's see if this clears up the matter.

This is the new channel plan for Troop B (at least at the site in Somerset County.)

CH1 860.9625 CH5 856.9625 CH9 856.4625 CH13 853.5125
CH2 859.9625 CH6 859.4625 CH10 860.4625
CH3 858.9625 CH7 858.4625 CH11 852.2375
CH4 857.9625 CH8 857.4625 CH12 851.5625

Note that CH 11 12 13 are new and are now in service and OTA. CH 13 however is
not OTA but will be soon.

You do not need to do anything, the control channel will tune these new frequencies
for you.

These were recently granted by the FCC to NJSTPD.

Not sure why you needed to start a new thread when the rebanding of NJSP North is already being actively discussed in this thread

In any case, 853.5125 is not a valid NJSP North system frequency. There were only two frequencies on the North system that required rebanding, 852.2375 replaced 867.2375, and 851.5625 replaced 866.5625.

853.5125 is the reband frequency of 868.5125, which is currently assigned to the NJSP Central system. WNDD575 and WNZZ317 were both modified on Sept 30th to include the five reband frequencies for the Central system:

851.6125 replaces 866.6125
852.2125 replaces 867.2125
852.6625 replaces 867.6625
853.1375 replaces 868.1375
853.5125 replaces 868.5125

If there need be a reason why, it is that this the brand new channel plan which has not been posted previously.

This is the channel plan by number including Channel
13 which will be ready to go soon.

Actually, the channels were posted in the picture (Unitrunker) posted by nosoup4u.

For Troop C 866.6125 is the current alternate cc for 004. Correct? Shouldn't 867.7625 the cc be included? It would be 852.7625 rebanded.

I'm curious where you're getting your information from, and what makes you think that a frequency currently assigned to and licensed to the Central system will become part of the North system, as you claim. That would certainly be a noteworthy development if it were true. Do you have a source for this claim?

Those two frequencies are shown for use at the Princeton Intellirepeater site. 866.6125 is also a frequency used on the Central system, but 867.7625 is not. Yes, any frequency above 866 MHz will have to be rebanded 15MHz lower. There are numerous FCC licenses under the State of NJ that show the forthcoming rebanded frequencies, I just didn't list every single one here because the focus has been on the North system, which has already started using the new frequencies.

The state's recently-licensed regular simulcast site at Princeton seems to have gone live and taken all the traffic from the intelli-repeater. Therefore it is not likely that the Princeton IR will be shut down instead of rebanded, once its control channel dies I'll have it deleted from the database.

To expand on a comment in the other thread, *none* of the control channels listed for the whole system (considering what I wrote immediately above) should need rebanding.

[nosoup4u]

I've been down in South Jersey for the last day, and it seems like there is no radio traffic going to any of the 866-868 channels on either C or A troop. My guess is you will see more reband changes this coming week.

[Chauffeur6]

There were never any frequencies to be rebanded on the South system. The Central system has five frequencies pending a reband as I detailed above.

As robbinsj2 pointed out, and it's worth repeating, none of the CC's for the entire statewide system are affected by the rebanding process, which means this discussion is more or less academic and the rebanding process will be transparent to anyone monitoring the system(s) with a scanner. All the new frequencies so far fall into the original pre-rebanding FCC channel plan, which means no custom channel plan should be necessary for any modern trunk-tracking scanner.
