Database was updated with a new DMR assignment for Denville PD on the same frequency they were previously using NXDN. Can someone confirm the switch and also advise if they are using RAS please. I haven't heard a peep on it.
Denville PD DMR ?
- Thread starter APX8000
- Start date
Nada. Zilch. No NXDN anymore either.
I was thinking recently they have been extremely quiet....very interesting.

could they have gone to county?
No. While they have around 22 mobiles and 10 portables on the system, they have a combined total of less than 50 PTT's.
I monitored the existing frequency and outside of brief static I have not heard anything.
I'm going to take a ride over that way this weekend and see if I get any hits.
Confirmed on DMR. 460.5875 CC 8 SL 1. Repeater was strong in town.
Yeah, me. Confirmed. They switched. On DMR. I will say their NXDN repeater got out better so I don't know if they backed the power down.
I use to receive them in Livingston, but since the change nothing but silence.

Quick note, I'm on the border of Denville and Rockaway Boro. I've had a strong signal since they switched to DMR and before, but as of the 18th I have not heard anything on 460.5875MHz.
I don't think it's a question of digital mode either, I haven't seen a carrier in days. Has anyone heard anything in the past few days?

After looking up their license grant I tried the other frequencies listed. I'd figured that 460.5125 is the input to their repeater, so not really what anyone would want to listen to, however I do hear some transmissions on 465.5875. They are DMR.
I don't know what this other frequency is, but they are licensed for a handfull of mobile radios to transmit on it so I expect it's another uplink, and not the broadcast from the repeater.

Probably turned down the power. I noticed the same with Pequannock PD. Last year their DMR used to boom out all the way down 287 even in summer. It still gets out well, but it appears turned down. The repeater is licensed for 100 watts.
Could also be the antennas were made more directional, as was done with Wayne’s TRS, and many 7/800 systems.
