A wild guess, but you may not have the all the zones programmed in. Compare the district numbers you hear with the zone map at Scanning NJ: Burlington County and see if that suggests what may be missing. HTH.

Zone map at the URL above on that I gave you (page down or click on "Districts"). And no changes to the radio systems. (I am assuming you downloaded the RR db into your scanner.) HTH.

I don't know anything about your scanner except what I see in ads. Is it possible you don't have all the scanlists activated? The RR database is correct...

Things are quieter on Sunday all around. Mostly car stops. Fri/Sat nights the loons are loose, odd activities pick up. I still would compare the districts versus the zones on that map and see what you have.

It also depends on your location and the site on the trunking system you are monitoring. With a portable and a stock antenna you may only hear the site near you and adjacent sites might not be heard. Willingboro and Burlington can be heard consistantly on the NC site(Westhampton) and North sites(Burlington/Bordentown). You have to be sure you are monitoring the correct sites as all traffic is not carried on all sites, its zone spicific unless its a county wide channel or until a unit strats roaming. Thats a hole other discussion.
