239 should be North Arlington, but there hadn't been any indication or resolutions noted to date regarding them switching. It'd be an awkward time for them to do it also. Perhaps being used temporarily in Bergen County for the Rescue Task Force or EMS stand-by at testing sites?
Hi guys that was me, chief of EMS and our squad captain, NAVES has we have a funeral detail for a Clara amass medical center and former squad member that passed late last week from covid-19. thanks for posting the tg number. Here is the plan for North Arlington, more than likely we are moving over to njics over the next year, police, fire. ems, here is the good news, **** no encryption **** for the police day to day operations so you will still hear road closures, dv's and still hear cars being dispatched to " hey my neighbor's dog just " shXt" on my lawn calls. we are keeping the old analog system up so we can still communicate with mutual aid, paramedics, crossing guards and CERT and if the njics system ever has an issue and goes down we have a backup, only makes sense, right now committee leads from Police, Fire and EMS have radios maybe around 6 in the pool. IMO nice system in our testing, trying to figure out if we are banging off the Alpine repeater because when I test in the Hillsdale area I only show 2 bars on the Harris radio I am carrying. so besides a sub-basement in Hillsdale and deep within a warehouse in North Arlington there the only two " Dead Spots " we can find from the Mahwah area down to Sayreville area west to Morristown Medical Center.
until all the departments are up and running and a total rebuild of the communications center at North Arlington I have asked if we could apply for a permanent tg now I was told would we are using is temporary. Hope this helps shed some light on the situation.
