DB has been updated with the 4 patches from NJICS for Newark Fire.
Newark New Radio System
- Thread starter northjerseyfire
- Start date
We made our first trip to JFK, EWR and the Prudential Center on Saturday. In total, we were in Newark about an hour, so we weren't able to get much. There were no new TGIDs found.
I was able to confirm that the following TGIDs were active 1012, 1013, 1014 & 1015.
I submitted the Prudential Center info for the DB admins to look at. There were a lot of Secret Service people in the area, so we couldn't hang around after doing the drop off at the Prudential Center.
Sorry, I wasn't much of a help.
On a weird note, what's with all of the electric scooters laying all over the sidewalks in Newark? It looks like people just drop them there & leave.

Scooters are rented they drop them wherever, and then a person working for the company goes around and collects and charges and returns the scooter to the pickup station.
Sadly this system does not make it to Livingston, however, if it is going to be dark, it won't matter much when they move.
Waiting to see if Eagle Rock gets fired up. That should make it nice over your way.

Possibly Essex county sheriff's department and other Essex county agencies will be joining on this system. Therefore Eagle Rock will be necessary.
I haven't heard that. Most, if not all other agencies in Essex that make the switch or plan to, come to NJICS. Far better coverage outside the City limits. The one that will leave NJICS is Newark Fire and possibly REMCS for UMDNJ units.
Essex Sheriff will go to the County trunked system along with the Prosecutors office. But don't expect to see many other flee NJICS even when that is built out.

It boggles my mind that Essex county bothers to build their own system when NJICS is already there. When they had EDACS only a few county agencies used it. Why don’t they give the frequencies to the state and join NJICS?
Because that would make sense.
Of course how could I forget 😂

Because there are 564 municipalities and 21 counties in New Jersey, and most want complete control of their own little fiefdom, with no regard to common sense, interoperability, practicality, or reality.
It's like how West Orange upgraded their old EDACS system to P25. The system still sounds terrible and only has 3 TGs. They could have easily moved to NJICS.
Again, because that would have made sense.
Three talkgroups is really crazy for all the capacity they spent millions on.
Guess the crossing guards got tossed...

It looks like the West Orange eagle Rock site might be up and running for Newark PD. I have full signal in East Hanover florham Park area
Nice, I will take a look tomorrow and see what I can get!
