Just heard from a reliable source that Elizabeth Fire/EMS have made the full switch to the 700 NJICS system as of 1700 hours today's date.

If that be so and it's confirmed, then I (or other DB admin) will make the change!

It's confirmed.
Did Elizabeth DPW and City Services (The last of their 2 VHF channels) switch to NJICS yet?

Don't know, didn't ask and I keep them locked out. Sorry.

I was monitoring Elizabeth FD yesterday with my PSR-800. heard them crystal clear vs. Newark FD.
Today, though, I haven't heard anything from them and I noticed that the (T) trunking symbol has disappeared. Anyone else hearing them ok today?
I'm using the Union County site.

I did log some Elizabeth DPW traffic while I was up that way yesterday, so they have at least partially moved over,if not fully.

Problem was on my end. I turned the scanner off and then back on again and it started to receive the Union County site. Sorry for jumping the gun.
They are very much on the P25 Phase 2 NJICS talkgroup now. Along with the PD. Non-encrypted so that's good.

Do you know if this system can be heard on Uniden bct15x?
I can hear them on my Pro-106 scanner quite well. Even thought NJICS talkgroup says it's Phase 2 I think it's still operating in Phase 1. I haven't had any issues decoding it or any talkgroup on there for that fact
Unfortunately I do not believe so. This talkgroup is digital and from my brief research that scanner does not decode digital voice only analog talkgroups.

Thanks for your input. Guess I have to spring for a new scanner. I've been told bcd536hp is a good one but costly.
For a mobile scanner in my opinion it's the best money can buy. It's sister portable the bcd436hp is equally just as good

Are the 436/536 difficult to program? I would only want EFD and Ambulance capabilities for now.
No the bcd436hp is not a bad scanner program. Uniden claims you just enter your zip code, how far you want your scanning capabilities to reach (50 miles or so is max) and then directly from its GPS tracking device it loads all frequencies capable and current from radioreference. It does come with a programming cable and software called sentential which you can use to customize orders and frequencies for your scanner.
Please research this ( I'll do you the added favor and give you the link to its actual owners manual so you can read specs) before asking about what it does. That is much apprichiated thank you!!
Here's the link: The Uniden BCD436HP HomePatrol Series Digital Mobile Scanner with WiFi
If you have any more questions about this scanner so we don't blow up this forum, feel free to Private Message ( PM) me and we can discuss further about the Uniden BCD436/536HP.
Thank you

Thank you so VERY much for all this good information! I am very grateful. If I do have any further questions, I will, as you suggest, PM you. However, if all I have to do is enter my zip code, I think I can handle that! Thanks again. You've been most kind.

Hi mamma Mike here ...to get a idea go no YouTube and watch some of UPman or Marks programming videos and you'll get a idea on how to program it. I had some help but you will be able to use Sentinel and append and create some favorite lists and you will be off to the races!! Good luck and have fun. If I can help feel free to pm me!!

Thanks Mike! I'll check out YouTube, etc. (Tried to PM you but was told I wasn't allowed to do that. Not sure why. I am a newbie to RR.)
