Gloucester County 700 Mhz P25 Phase 2 !!

[phillydjdan]

Heh, Bucks might not be using encryption on normal channels, but it certainly isn't "clear" lol

 

[Monoxide16]

True lol

Which system set this up? Tactical Public Safety?

Believe that's the one.

 

[jcardani]

I think it's Wireless Communications because Tactical Public Safety deals with Harris systems and the Gloucester County and Camden County systems are Motorola. Tactical is the vendor for Atlantic County,

Did Clayton PD switch over to the new system?

 

[Septa3371CSX1]

Got a chance to monitor the system again this morning from Tinicum and only picked up encrypted activity on TG 307. Other than that the system was pretty quiet.

As for Clayton PD, I believe they are still on UHF Zone 4. The only zones I haven't picked up anything on recently are 5, 6, 8, and 9.

Clayton PD is still on analog. 305, 307, 310 are the encryted TGIDs i would expect you to see at this point. Its a slow Sunday morning so you may not have caught them all yet.

Thank you for the info. Still can't hear Clayton one day last week they called zone 4 I guess on the phone saying they needed help with an accident. Then Zone 4 dispatched another town to help.

How do u set up this system and is there a band plan for this System

 

[u2brent]

Use ARC536 to import it or add it manually using the info on the RR DB page.
Gloucester County Public Safety Trunking System, Gloucester County, New Jersey - Scanner Frequencies
Program some TG's manually or set the ID Search option to ON.
Unconfirmed TG's can be found and posted here..

Looks like Clayton switched over to. Oh well pretty soon no more Gloucester Co to listen to.

 

[Septa3371CSX1]

Been a lot of activity near round the clock on the countywide police UHF channel. Haven't been able to figure out who it is.

 

[Monoxide16]

Thanks for the info It sounds like the sheriff's office.

Glassboro PD

Looks (sounds) like Glassboro has switched to the 700 MHz system. Yesterday, while listening to the old freq, a unit called county, and county responded with something about the "old radio". Another one bites the dust...

 

[Monoxide16]

Wow this really stinks!! Why couldn't Camden Co and Gloucester Co do what Bucks Co did?? What's the point in even having a scanner anymore?

Pressure from police chiefs most likely to have a secure system. They tried to lobby for it in Bucks but were denied as the county sees having an open system as a valuable resource. The real reason for the encryption is likely to cover things up and control what the media reports on from the towns. They can also easily say something like "a subject waving around a firearm" was nothing more than a "civil disturbance" call and not have anyone dispute it (other than eyewitnesses on scene).

Best bet to reverse the encryption would be to gather signatures from the community in a petition to the system administrators that dispatch talkgroups be broadcast in the clear for the benefit of the community at large. Not the easiest thing to do but at the same time it would be well worth a try.

Back on topic, any other talkgroups pop up on the system? Sounds logical Glassboro would be the next to switch over as they are on a channel by themselves.

Will a home uniden patrol 2 receive the channels?

 

[Monoxide16]

Thank you for all that information sure will miss listening to Gloucester Co. Scanning was fun guess I'm gonna have to give that up and not spend so much money on a scanner that's worthless.

 

[Septa3371CSX1]

Will a home uniden patrol 2 receive the channels?

Yes it will but only the unencrypted stuff.

 

[mikeg7]

Oh crap is there any scanner that will work ?
