Eventually that will be the case.

I'm listening to TG 59632 on the NJSP 800 MHz system and there is no encryption that I'm aware of. Is this traffic being repeated from 700 MHz?
No, they're listed as De in the database, which indicates FDMA with partial encryption. Upper case E indicates full-time encryption, lower case e indicates partial or selective encryption.
They have encryption available to them, therefore the talkgroups are listed to indicate partial encryption. FDMA, not TDMA, as they are linked with the 800 MHz SmartZone system.

They're in the clear on the 800 MHz SmartZone System on TG 59632 in the North Jersey area. Excellent reception on my old Uniden 396XT at home or on the road.

When it comes to the analog NJT Police freqs, I know 160.830 has been used for testing and simulcasting for other reasons, so I will keep that in my scanner for now. However, 161.370 is now deprecated for Newark Penn use, but is it still used to communicate with Amtrak PD? I haven't heard a peep on 161.490 or 161.190 in years. Is it safe to delete these from my scanner or do NJT PD still have these frequencies/channels in their radios?

I thought 160.83 was no longer in use by NJTPD and is being used now by MOW?
NJTPD will keep the VHF licenses and frequencies active as a failsafe in case they are needed for some special event or if there is an issue with coverage on NJCIS. Since they have APX7000's that are VHF/700/800, always good to have those channels in your back pocket and not rely solely on the trunked system.

I usually hear units at the Trenton Station on the South Patrol Zone - TG 59696 on the NJSP 800 system
NJTPD still has claim to it as a fallback. All the equipment on their side of things remains in place.

Thank you very much, that was my guess but I don't listen to Trenton train station too often I just monitor Trenton nxnd when I'm working there. Thanks again.

The database reflects that NJ Transit PD is now full time encrypted and no longer being simulcast on the NJ State Police 800 MHz system. That is, all NJ Transit PD units are using 700 MHz equipment only. Is this accurate? When did this change occur?
Within the past 2 weeks, I have noticed that 99% of the transmissions for NJ Transit Police have been in secure
mode. I believe the patch is still up, but even if the radio is encrypted on the 700 side, it comes across on the 800 analog side as the encrypted garble most of us dread. I have also verified this via Unitrunker data as well across multiple sites.

Gone are the days when you could hear a NJTPD unit give out a full social security number over the air. As much as I hate encryption and think its ridiculous on regular dispatch channels I see why they finally went full time encryption after hearing them give out personal info on the radio for years. Obviously its easier to encrypt then change radio SOG's and operations.
