Monmouth & NJSP

[Bentley]

Hi all, getting back into the hobby after about a 10 year hiatus. So much has changed and I have no clue where to start. I know PDs are all encrypted now, but if I wanted to listen to Monmouth county FDs / EMS and some NJSP TGs what would be the best choice for a scanner? Home patrol 2? SDS100?
The ability to upload channels and TGs is a must for me. I’m not the most tech savvy anymore and probably don’t have the knowledge to manually enter all that information. Thank you!

Go with the SDS-200. Its the only scanner that can truly handle LSM which both of those systems use. Download the database in Sentinel, set up your favorites and program away.

The SDS100 (handheld equivalent to the aforementioned SDS200) can also overcome LSM/simulcast distortion

Thank you both so much

I Thought the sds100 and 200 have the same radio specs.....

I should have said "SDS" and not the specific model. Yes, same specs
