Anyone listen to Atlantic County?

[jrb6940]

Hello all......

I am trying to listen to the Hammonton and Hamilton police departments. I dont think I am hearing them on the County system, (there I mostly get Arbor Fields, the Jail and PW). Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

Jeff

I believe the police departments on the Atlantic County system use Pro Voice digital, not receivable on any digital scanner.

All PDs on the Atlantic County system are ProVoice except Brigantine and Stockton College.
NJS TRS MOT is analog. ACPD is MOT digital. Somers Point, Linwood and Pleasantville are still on VHF. I am not sure what Buena Buro PD does.

So I cant listen to Hamilton, Hammonton or Buena Boro? That sucks.

Thanks for the help.

Don't feel bad. A lot of us are in the same boat. We go out and spend money on digital scanners and then when the municipalities upgrade their police radio systems to P25 digital, they add encryption and encrypt EVERYTHING, rendering the "digital" feature on the scanners useless.

Oh, by the way, Buena boro is covered by NJSP Buena Barracks. So are the towns of Collings Lakes, Weymoth, Minatola, and Folsom. You'll also get Hammonton FD and Buena on 154.28/154.355. You'll at least get the dispatcher's side of the comm but if you're close enough (about 4 miles or so) you'll also hear the field units. On 155.175 you can hear Hammonton Rescue and Medics. On the Atlantic co TRS you'll also hear Absecon, Galloway TWp, and EHT fire and EMS. While you're at it have you tried Ocean county TRS? How bout Salem County? Though I'd imagine most of these would be hard to pick up from Burlington County Westampton.

Buena Boro

Buena Boro has a municipal PD: http://www.buenaboro.org/mgc/Police/police.htm

Buena Boro has their own PD, thats why I want to listen to them. Minotola is part of the Boro. The Lakes is split between Folsom Boro and BVT, which the SP take care of. I work in Atlantic County, so I was hoping to listen to the locals while Im down there.

Thanks for the replies.
