Seeking some help in Bloomfield

[myimpala1]

I am looking for someone to help me set up my uniden bcd436hp. I can meet up with you or you can meet me at my firehouse. I am pulling out what little hair i have left. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Located in Bloomfield.

Maybe you like craft beer? Would that sweeten the pot?

Hasn't Bloomfield Fire migrated to the NJICS (State Interoperability System)?

With the 436HP you should just be able to download Sentinel software, update the datebase, and then program in the updated Bloomfield Data for NJICS. Then hold on NJICS, then, Essex County, Then Bloomfield Fire. Press the Func key and then hold and scroll through the transmitter sites until you get to West Orange Simulcast and hold on that. You should be good to go then.

Video and Audio of Bloomfield on my Unication G4
I had a 436HP. I live not far from Bloomfield and have terrible LSM issues so my 436 wouldn't work. If your 436 doesn't do it for you than you might want to consider an SDS100 or a Unication G4 or G5. Of course you would need to spend more money which is probably not what you want to do. The static sounds in the background is SPEN on my other scanner.

I have thought about the unication but i like the fact that i can take a scanner while traveling and not be locked into just bloomfield. Also the unification is not user programmable correct?

Unications are not wideband scanners but you should look at the G5 to see if the frequencies you would want are covered by it. And yes they have software that you use to program it. The software is called PPS and included with the purchase via a download. It's a manual process to load the frequencies, names, ID's, etc. I have heard they are testing a method similar to how Sentinel works for the Uniden's but may require a subscription to the RR database.
