Covering Jersey City/Hudson County takes more work than that
I don't know if you guys remember the evolution of EMS communications in Jersey City. Initially, they were on 155.265 at the same time Hatzolah was. There were many conflicts, so around 1984, the MC went to 155.235 and changed the frequency in all of its busses and Minitor pagers (for MC40, the ALS bus, and for the medical/surgical attending physicians for telemetry). This was a very simple T2-2R (2 channel transmitter, 2 receivers in the cabinet) non-unified chassis Micor HEAR base station with a quarter wave antenna on top of the Medical building. One problem was that a ham put his antenna on the same vent pipe as the MC's so it was only about 6 inches away. That was fixed. There was also a wheel chair service in Staten Island who blasted into Jersey City and was stronger than the MC units were, especially portables. It was dangerous because people have called for a "10-2" ("HELP!!!") and the base could not hear them, only others who were close to the scene... which, from time to time, was on Heckman Drive or in one of the other projects.
Money was made available around 1985 to coincide with a planned "friendly MCI" for the Statue of Liberty Centennial in 1986. That was when the original HUDCEN was built and the radio system transitioned from the Micor with a T1600 remote (that sounded like it was in a cave) to a "real" dispatch center with consoles. This also helped with the expansion of ALS services into Bayonne (MC-14) and into North Hudson (MC-16). The system went to three voted receivers on 155.235 and 155.280, a full-time base for 155.340, and a full-time base for 153.785. And, 3 - 8 channel MED base stations on Bayonne Hospital, West New York City Hall, and on the Surgical Building (a rat hole at the time - but one that was renovated and hardened to house a critical site). Also full-time MED 10 stations in Bayonne, West New York, and on the Surgical Building.
In the 90s, the MC leadership transitioned from VHF to a 900 MHz trunked system. McCabe was on it, too, using different talkgroups. It was a commercial system that was leased from Motorola and operated primarily from trunksites on the World Trade Center, and, because the WTC couldn't perform well for the western side of Jersey City, from the Claridge House in Verona. They were on that until 9/11, when the WTC part of the system came down. They went back to VHF, and eventually repeaterized. It's been like that for about 13 years.
My point is that it takes considerably a lot more work than just "we'll put this over here" or "we'll just go to MotoTRBO" to cover the area. Between interference (Jersey City is one of the most RF-dense environments in the world, having proximity to NYC and high power emissions from the WTC then, and soon to be the WTC now), and limited frequency resources, I don't expect optimism from a single-site solution. If this was well-thought-out (and my read of the proposal - yes, I read it - is that it was not), they would have negotiated for talkgroups on the Jersey City UHF trunked system. But radio is always an afterthought. ALWAYS. If the system is having trouble now, with just Bayonne and transport operations on it, imagine what it will be like if it gets loaded with the volume of traffic Jersey City BLS operations would put on it.
