Only the police
I am liking the Siren app that will allow control and monitoring of the scanner from the app anywhere in the world.
Good news that both Whistler & Uniden will have scanners capable of P25 Phase II. Hopefully competition will help w/pricing too. Saw that Uniden will list $500 & up. Haven't seen pricing for Whistler models. Of course these new scanners won't allow monitoring of police (except for Cam City, Cherry Hill, Glou Twp, Winslow) since encryption ends that regardless of scanner.

heard Dist 22 PD on the Gloucester Twp Digital channel the other night guess they were on the wrong band lol their new radios sound pretty good sinks that we can't hear them anymore miss listening to Camden County
Got the new Uniden BCD536HP today. Not bad. County audio is not as clear as analog but it is readable.

Has anyone else been monitoring this system via a BCDx36HP?

I'm too far from it at home for any kind of meaningful tests, but on Sunday I was in Mt. Laurel and listened to it for a brief stretch on my 436HP and I thought it performed pretty well. Good audio and few dropouts.
On that subject since I haven't seen any threads on it in this forum, with regard to other systems in the area, the 436 has done a nice job on the Burlington system (primarily from the North & North Central sites). Pretty much comparable to my PSR-800. On the other hand, the 436 is really struggling with the Bucks system. I don't get perfect reception of it where I am, but everything is generally readable on the 800 with some dips here and there. The 436 is producing a lot of dropouts and totally missed transmissions. Not entirely sure why it is sounding so bad on it. I imagine a little closer to a TX site this wouldn't be as noticeable, but for anyone who plans on doing a lot of fringe listening to Bucks with the x36's, they might want to be advised.

Interesting observations on both areas. And i know that sometimes Camden County isnt really copyable in parts of Mount Laurel/Maple Shade/Moorestown.

I have a friend in Cherry Hill that's having a terrible time with Camden County. I did a little map study using the RR database and found out that he is about equal distant from 3 Camden county sites. Me on the other hand I am closest to the Lindenwold site and the next closest is at the Camden County Community College which is about twice the distance. I guess I am getting about 90-95% copy of Camden County EMS and Fire. the other 5-10% is either very low audio or not copiable.
But considering not quite 2 weeks ago all I was able to listen to was County F-1 I think that's a pretty darn good improvement. I haven't tried my BCD536HP on anything else though. I still have a BCD996T I use for NJSP and railroad.

Good info. My situation is much like your friend in Cherry Hill. After receiving my BCD436HP yesterday I am hearing some audio improvement on the Camden County system using the RS 800 Portable duck. I do hear occasional popping and garble on a few transmissions which I suspect is due to reception because my S meter fluctuates signal. Overall pleased so far. You can increase volume offset on each channel. That may make it easier to hear.

Thats odd. They already have a license for these frequencies in a different location but dont use them. Maybe this will be a separate site?

Wow are u serious this sucks no wonder why i haven't heard them for a while alrighty thank u for the info least we still get to listen to Cherry Hill Camden Metro and Gloucester Twp really miss listening to Camden County
Just a heads up, Camden City dispatchers are being trained now for the new radio system. They will be moved over once the new console and computers are installed. The City dispatchers were made County employees.
