Attempts to research my local Public Safety Licenses and emissions in the Borough of Hopatcong, using their callsigns of WNKJ-359, or other fields, resulted in "nothing found" in basic or advanced searches, has left me pulling out eyebrow hairs. With the borough going DMR on their PD repeater, I wish to "read-up" on their license, and consider purchasing a DMR walkie on Amazon to enable monitoring. Any help is most appreciated. in "technical specifications" the FCC license specifies.

If they are running privacy on the channel, that will be a wasted purchase. You won't be able to here a thing. Can anyone closer to there confirm if they are in the clear?

You will not be able to listen to Hopatcong pd ever. They are using the mototurbo and I believe the 128 encryption. I lived there for 35 years when they were analog. There are bunch of reasons they switched 1 because in past they have had people coming on the repeater who shouldn't have last year they had a drunk guy who tried to have a conversation with the dispatcher and they get major interference from orange county and since the move to dmr it's gotten better.

I remember the guy on the boat, talking to Liz that night.She had a time of it ,to get him to stop operating on the frequency. Finally after about five minutes, he stopped.

I'm hearing them as we speak, (in the clear) using a discriminator tapped scanner running DSD+.

Speaking of FCC land, I hate to be the wet blanket, but Hopatcong is not licensed for DMR. If they're running it, it's like driving a tractor trailer through their town with a regular driver's license. It's not the right thing and they might get jammed up for it.
