believe this is an LTR trunked system with fire dept as the user as I just heard a call about a car fire that ended with jackson out on 507.3375, and also heard that LTR unique sound and also hear the bursts every 20 sec or so on other freqs with no sign of a dedicated CC

jackson trunk info

first talk group heard on this system

LCN 01 is freq 506.5875

heard tg 0-01-108 on the above freq (which was listed wrong in the TRS DB as 1108)

also believe 507.0875 is LCN 05

jackson ltr

ICOM PCR-1000 and an optotrakker

think there are two other new LTR systems in ocean county in the 400 Mhz band (see other post for "new LTR system") but they havent been put into TRS DB yet and these are very active and both seem to be transportation type systems

Which old Pro's will track LTR

Specifically which of the older PRO's will track LTR?

yesterday while driving around heard what sounded like a constant control channel on one of the jackson frequencies but it wasnt a moto or edacs and now I dont hear it. also didnt sound like the nomal data burst one hears over some trunked systems, pehaps it was interference from a strong local signal but will keep checking

PRO-92 (all three versions) and PRO-2067 will track LTR.

LCN Number for Jackson Fire Dispatch??

Has anybody come up with the correct LCN number for Jackson's Fire Dispatch frequency, 507.3375 yet?? I need it as I am programming a BC785D and it has to be programmed into the right channel in order to receive it. The LCN for fireground frequency 506.5875 (LCN 01) is correct as I heard Station 54 talking on it last night at a fire call. Also, as I side note, I heard that the dispatch frequency is conventional with a DPL 432, but the ground frequencies are trunked. So I don't have any idea what's going on. Maybe someone can shed some light on this. Thanks, Ken

Jackson Township Fire

Found out yesterday from a paid fireman at Station 54, Jackson, that they are going to county dispatch, sometime in July. I don't know the frequency info for that. Also found out from Tech 792 that he spoke to someone yesterday who told him that they are probably going to abandon the LTR trunked system and go to a conventional repeater. They are having problems with the trunked system and the company techs can't get it working properly. Anyway for the time being here's the set up: Dispatch is on 507.3375. Don't know if it's conventional or trunked, so program it in both ways into your scanner as I have. If it's trunked one of these talk groups is definitely good: 0-01-108, 0-05-108, 0-09-108, 0-13-108, 0-17-108. I have it programmed into my scanner exactly this way and got the dispatch this morning but couldn't catch the talk group if it was on the trunked mode. Fireground, 506.5875 is definitely trunked and the talk group is talk group is definitely 0-01-018. So we can use this info for the time being for them until they go to county dispatch, or repeaters or whatever they decide to do. Ken

Here's the set-up for Jackson Twp Fire. Their dispatch frequency, 507.3375 is conventional with a DPL 432. Their fireground/ops frequencies are trunked. It's an LTR System. Fireground 1 - 506.5875 talk group is 0-01-108. Still don't know talk group for the other fireground/ops freq. 507.0875. And....that frequency could be 506.0875. Got some good information today from a firefighter from Jackson Station 55 about all of this. He will tie up all of the loose ends for us ASAP. But everything I've posted so far is correct. Stay tuned.

I just checked the TRS Database for Jackson Twp. Fire and noticed there have been some additional talk groups posted. My question, has anyone verified these TGs ? I noticed the LCN number in each is 01, the LCN for fireground freq. 506.5875. However they have another FG frequency, 507.0875, LCN 05, and was wondering if any of those TGs could be LCN 05.

The reason I am asking is this morning the dispatcher broadcast a message on the dispatch freq. 507.3375 telling all stations to switch to Fire Ops 2 until further notice. I'm assuming this is for dispatching purposes. I just want to make sure I can pick up the dispatches on one of those TG IDs.

I contacted a firefighter from Jackson via email this A.M. to see if he knows what's going on. My first thoughts were they are either incorporating the dispatch frequency into the trunked system or switching over to county dispatch, which was rumored. If that's the case, the county would dispatch them on the Jackson frequency 507.3375. It would be similar to Bay Head & Mantoloking. They have their own conventional dispatch frequency, but county dispatches them.

Anyway, thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Ken

Got some good info from a Jaclson Twp. firefighter about their system if anyone is interested.

They were having a problem with the repeater for Fire Ops 1, so they switched everyone over to Fire Ops 2 to see if it solves the problem. If so, they will replace the repeater for Ops 1.

The Ops channels are where the units respond and receive initial instructions, then they switch over to fireground A, B, or C, as needed.

Also Stations 54 & 55 run first responder backing up MONOC BLS and operate on Police TAC 501.2875.

And, on March 1st the county will take over dispatching the fire companies, but the dispatch frequency will remain the same...507.3375.

Jackson Fire Companies are now being dispatched by Ocean County on their own dispatch frequency - 507.3375. It appears that they are using the trunked system fireground frequencies in a conventional mode to talk to county, at least 507.0875. So if you monitor Jackson, put them in your scanner in conventional mode also. I haven't heard any activity on them in the trunked mode, so I don't know if they're still using them that way. Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

 

[DJ88]

Talk Group ID 0-05-127 has been the active TG used for fireground since they went over to county dispatch. It's being used for comms between trucks and county dispatcher ref to response to a call as well as comms at the scene. It's not listed on the database as a valid TG, but I submitted the info today, so hopefully it will show up soon.

Just a heads up for anybody monitoring them.

 

[Tech792]

What I did Ken, was simply program the 3 Jackson 500 mhz channels in conventional and it works fine. Since there are no other users on these channels except the FD. I get the dispatches and fireground.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the reply. I have them programmed in both conventional and trunked. I get everything both ways. I just use the trunked to get active TG IDs for my frequency list to keep it up to date.

They have been operating, after dispatch, on Fire Ops 2, 507.0875 as the repeater for Fire Ops 1, 506.5875 was down. But I heard an announcement this AM from the County dispatcher that they will go back to Ops 1 today. Must have fixed it.

Anyway Pete, good to hear from you and thanks again.

Ken

Jackson Fire

Is there any updated info regarding Jackson Fire frequencies?

I have all (that I can find) of their freqs programmed (conventional) but I only hear the dispatch channel, never any ops. I also get lockup on their fireground channels at time and have to lock them out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Erik

This is everything for the Jackson Fire System:

507.3375 DPL 432 Dispatch (By Ocean County)
506.5875 No PL/DPL Fire Ops 1 (Sign on with county and fire ops)
507.0875 No PL/DPL Fire Ops 2 (Secondary channel for fire ops - rarely used)
510.5875 DPL 143 Fireground A (Low Power)
511.5875 DPL 132 Fireground B (Low Power)
511.8375 DPL 155 Fireground C (Low Power)

Fire Ops 1 & 2 are repeaters so you should be able to receive them. As for them locking up, I have never had that problem. When they are dispatched for a fire, Fire Ops 1 becomes very active. I don't know why you are having trouble getting it. I have the system in my scanner conventional and trunked (so I can see talk groups) and get it loud and clear both ways. BTW, Fireground A, B, & C frequencies are conventional and not part of the trunked system.

 

[elias1988]

It doesn't lockup for me, it does get very active once a call comes in, last week i heard a drill for them on fire ops 1, heard everything but during a real fire they will switch over to fireground A,B or C.
