[darticus]

Is this available to us? I only see the water department and fire. Where would the police be??? Anyone able to help that know how to use this data base? I am using a Home Patrol to receive. Thanks in advance Ron

My name is Ron also, so you be Ron1. This does sound as you know you stuff. It seems like
MUN PD 2 - Dover (49), Mine Hill (20), Rockaway Borough (34), and Wharton (39)
This might be what I need to add to the radio. Do you have any program experience using the Home Patrol and adding things. Thanks Ron2

 

[RonnieUSA]

Sorry, No I don't.

 

[darticus]

Sorry, No I don't.

Thanks anyway you did good. Ron2

They should already be in your HP (provided you have an up-to-date database) under:

USA --> New Jersey --> Morris --> County Systems --> Morris County Public Safety --> Law Enforcement

.

They are there but I just can't get them. Either too far or a mountain is in the way. How to boost the signal? Thanks Ron

Thread moved to New Jersey forum since this is a local issue not a database issue.

 

[darticus]

Is there a way to know what frequencies they are on in this Morris County > Law enforcement Group? Thanks all Ron

Trunking doesn't work that way. With some exceptions, once a conversation gets going, it may jump from frequency to frequency. The exceptions are those that are dedicated patches into a trunk system, such as is used here in Maryland - a particular VHF frequency (used for fire dispatch, in this case) is patched to one and only one talkgroup.

If a mountain is in the way, an amplifier isn't going to help - and if it's too far away, a better antenna is needed (there are, however, practical limits to the distance a UHF digital signal will travel, especially in hilly terrain such as found in your neck of the woods).

I'm certain the cops there have similar issues, and probably depend on a particular site (even though they may not know about it) to be able to get into the trunk. A little research - perhaps on the sites listed in the database - might be in order. Then you can buy (or build - there are many plans out on the net) a UHF yagi antenna to point to that site. That would likely greatly increase the reliability of the signal reaching you. And remember, particularly here, height is key - the more you can get over the obstructions, the better.

Here is a map of the sites for the Morris system as shown in our database

The closest site to Darticus is Jefferson.
Maybe a UHF Yagi pointed in that direction may help?

I had someone with an HP scanner having difficulty scanning the Morris system since it is linear simulcast. He upgraded to a 436 and it worked fine.

If you know someone with a 436 or 536 that can test from your location that might be a viable solution also. My 436 decodes the system fine but I am only about 6 miles from the nearest site.

I do get Jefferson and if I take the HP down to Pathmark with the rubber ducky I get Dover,

Then it is purely a lack of signal issue. Either put up a better receive antenna or move
