Time frames for these talkgroups can be heard most of the time on a Saturday/Sunday morning when drills take place. Maybe once a month I hear them outside of an actual mission/scene that they might be used at.

 

[UNICATIONWAVES]

Thanks for the info, its greatly appreciated.

They are interops and emergency TG's. I'd agree and say their activity is pretty slim on a normal day.

I can only monitor 10 talkgroups at a time, should i try NJ Army National Guard Talkgroups or NJ Task Force 1 Talkgroups ?

 

[K2NEC]

I'd say TF1 would be more active but IDK

NJ Task Force One mainly use's the FEMA UASR channels in encrypted mode, you would hear more on USAR 7/UASI 1 which is used for the Metro USAR Teams in North Jersey. If NJ-TF1 is responding to a incident with them they will utilize USAR 7/UASI 1 for interop's.

I was confusing EMS TF1 with NJ TF1. So yea I'd say USAR7/UASI1 is better.

The only actual chatter I heard on the national guard TGs was at the beginning of major testing for corona, they were giving test numbers and beginning and ending of transports, even then not much to listen to
