Does anyone know what njics site is ideal to program in to monitor consistent radio comms from njsp tgs like gsp channels in toms river, Is there a list to see what tgs work frequently on which sites? on njics archive recordings for gsp channels the njsp traffic is constant, if anyone knows what site that is please reply, thanks
Yes but is there a way to find out which tg work best on which sites? And if I program in two sites, the radio is going to lock into the closest site and not necessarily where the tg works on best.
Talkgroup 'listen-ability' is strictly based on whether or not there are radios on that site affiliated with said talkgroups. I've heard both NJSP GSP Central and South on the Burlington/Ocean Simulcast, but it's not guaranteed that they are always there. I also don't know what other sites you would be able to pickup from Toms River, possible the Monmouth County one?
As @lynchy135 said, it's all dependent on subscriber affiliation. If no one is affiliated with a talkgroup you want to listen to at a particular site, then the talkgroup will not be active unless a radio affiliates again. Luck of the draw, so to speak. Generally speaking, the larger simulcast cells are going to carry more traffic and carry it more consistently, as they cover such a wide area.
Given the fact that the GSP cuts right through Ocean County, and the Burlington/Ocean Simulcast cell is the only site that would provide any coverage to a large section of the GSP, I would stick with that site.

Anyone notice a change on the Morris County Simulcast? I am not receiving anything at all on there today, which is my usual site. I am receiving Walpack and Washington. SDS 100 shows full signal, but no activity when I analyze that site.

Thanks.. I can't figure out why I no longer receive that site on either of my radios and yes, I am well in the range.. I cleared the system, redownloaded it, checked location settings and still nothing. When I do the analyze feature on the SDS-100 it shows full signal, but nothing on the activity indicator. Picking up some of the traffic on Washington site and occasional on Hunterdon. I am totally perplexed. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share them.
having same issue never happened before cant even get it on phone app

Specifically on Morris County site?
nope even rockland or ringwood
@strk3seeya don't mean to rub it in, but here's a screenshot of UT 2.1 decoding the Morris cell a few minutes ago...

Haha thanks. I’m going to take a ride down route 80 and see if I pick up any other sites. Just strange I’m getting a strong signal but no talkgroups
Netcong would be the nearest subsite to you. While it's possible that there is an issue at that subsite, it's pretty unlikely. If you're getting a strong signal that the SDS recognizes as a control channel (DAT) with no activity/decoding, something else is probably going on. Is the SDS the only device you own that you can check with? Are you having any trouble with the Morris County (4BA) 700 cell, or is that decoding fine with the SDS? I would suggest either driving north towards the Bowling Green subsite in Jefferson, or east towards the Randolph subsite, to rule out any weirdness with the Netcong subsite.

I only have 2 SDS. I am having no issue with the Morris County 700 system. Receiving NJSP Netcong units and Atlantic Health across the Washington site. I was suggesting going down 80 to where I usually switch to the West Orange site to rule out a radio issue since both radios have been returned multiple times for receiving issues.
Even just added some TG’s I don’t normally monitor and I’m picking up StateCom4 (sounds like shore operations of some kind) again only on Washington.

glad im not the only one
Your situation has nothing to do with his. There is no issue with the Ringwood subsite/Passaic County cell, you're probably just too far north of the state line to pick it up, or you need to redo your programming. You really ought to continue the discussion of your issue in the thread you already have going, this is not really the right place for that sort of issue.
