Atlantic City Fire Dispatch

[PFDBC4]

Following up on prior post..... Still not receiving any Dispatch from Atlantic City Fire Dispatch on scanner radio app or other platforms. I do receive other Atlantic county departments but not Atlantic City FD. How do i find out who is providing the feed and let them know that AC Fire is not live?
Im not close enough for a scanner. Can listen to them on you tube feed for Atlantic County scanner feed but to much other traffic on that.
Also the recorded calls are posted on broadcastify so they are making out it out somehow just cant seem to listed to them live anywhere!!!
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!

So often the Mays Landing site will carry Atlantic City Fire Dispatch. But not all the time. The Egg Harbor Township site is more likely to carry it, but I guess it's not an absolute guarantee. The best way to get it all of the time is to use the Atlantic City site if you are able to pick it up.
Oddly enough, I have seen times where ACFD comes in over the HAMMONTON site but not the Mays Landing.

Following up on our last conversation... can you advise where i can listen to the Mays landing or egg harbor city links so i can monitor ACFD. Thank you

Under Sites and Frequencies click "Atlantic" and then scroll down to Mays Landing/Egg Harbor City. All 11 frequencies must be programmed in.

I've always wondered why Atlantic County went totally digital even for their Fire Dispatch. Most counties in NJ still use UHF conventional to at least send FD dispatch pages.

Conventional? Yes. UHF? No, definitely not most.

Thanks for reply, yes not sure on that. I was told that the feed for ACFD is not strong enough or positioned to far from AC to be able to relay so it can be posted on scanner feeds, ex police scanner radio or PFF

Conventional? Yes. UHF? No, definitely not most.

EVERY single County in NJ dispatches their FD in analog on either UHF or VHF EXCEPT for Atlantic County. However, Essex and Union County only dispatch Mutual Aid in analog mode.

154.310, C118.8 is still active. I logged it last night from Montco PA during skip

Follow up post hoping for assistance. The ACFD dispatch feed was working until a few months ago. I was told that the feed might be to weak or scanner is to far from AC to get the transmissions out to the feeds .
Does anyone know who was running the feed or scanner in past or can possibly get a new feed receiver closer to AC?
maybe i could reach out to whoever had it operating prior. Im retired with family on there and hope to be able to listen again!!
I did send message to broadcasity.
I am to far away for scanner to work
Thanks to everyone for your expertise and assistance, greatly appreciated!!!!

Wow! Can anyone else confirm 154.310 as still active? The RR DB indicates ALL the VHF freqs listed are for backup only. If 154.310 is still indeed active full time, then the DB needs to be corrected!

Yes, for select departments such as Northfield and most of the western FDs dispatched by Gloucester Co;
154.4 simil of TG 2201 & TG 3201;
154.205 Somers Point initial dispatch only;
154.445 simil of TG 31201 initial dispatch only (incl Strathmere);
154.01 simil of TG 15201;
155.655 simil of TG 5201.

155.175 EMS: totally silent

Ok, but what about 154.310? Also, not seeing 154.445 in the DB at all in Atlantic County.

YES....154.31....Northfield, etc.

I included 154.445 because Ocean City & Strathmere operate on the Atlantic Co TRS even though they are Cape May County.

Thanks for the info, this means 154.310 should not be in the DB listed as backup only. I imagine 154.265 S Jersey Fire Net should also not be listed as part of the "back up only VHF frequencies"

I looked at the database and couldn't find "Back up only"

None of the actual individual VHF listings state "BACKUP ONLY" anywhere in the description. You're referring to the overview statement within the related trunked system box that states "Fire/EMS operate on this system. VHF frequencies are for backup purposes." Even that statement doesn't explicitly state that ALL VHF frequencies are for backup only. But since this seems to have caused you a great deal of confusion, I've modified the text.

You wrote in "SOME CASES". LMAO. How about being specific and stating which ones are backup and which ones are not??? Any outsider looking at the DB will say to themselves, "Well which is which"? Come on man. Make it make sense! In this hobby, specifics are important.
