GS Parkway Radio System

[jcardani]

I'm monitoring this Passport system today for the impending snow event and the NJ Turnpike South Maintenance talk group is very choppy. In fact some of the North users 2 are having audio issues. Just heard several complaints to radio repair.

Unfortunately my computer with the feed was taken out of service.

Joe,
So the new scanners like the Homepatrol cannot montior this system ? since it's not in the sentile database
and there's no way to program it manually ?

What system are you guys talking about? Who uses it NJSP,Maintentence,Tow Trucks?

Radio Maintenance seemed to have fixed the problem.

The system is a "LTR" Passport radio system in the 217 MHz range. It's used for maintenance,tow trucks, and road service on the Turnpike and Parkway. Refer to posts earlier in this thread.

No scanners can monitor this Passport system, I developed a program and hardware board to monitor several years ago. Pictures should be somewhere in this thread.

Any update on the progress of the system being upgraded to P25?

 

[jcardani]

The memo posted on RR said it will be slow growth and be done in 2017. Not sure if that timetable changed.

Yes I just got done reading it,forgot that was posted a while back. States 800 MHz trunking nothing about P25.

Thanks Joe so what I hear on the interop 700 MHz system Maintentence Central ...ect. Is a seperate system than this one?

Yes only NJDOT uses the NJICS and 800 MHz NJSP system. Turnpike authority only uses their own system.
