Does anyone on here monitor the Cape May County site in open mode? I noticed a new talkgroup 4991 come across that site exclusively. It is definitely a police talkgroup but I'm sure who. The audio was coming in extremely low on my G5. I believe I got a unit calling themselves 19-7 or 7-19. I didn't catch a unit ID but they were all 5 digits. Anyone else hear it? Who is it?

Update on the above post. Recorded another transmission on TGID 4991. Scanner missed the RID but the unit was a 13-208 returning from property checks. Is there perhaps a PD District 13 in Cape May County? PD is not in the wiki.
Interesting. I know North Wildwood PD uses “districts” to sector the city, followed by the units assignment number (B3, B4, etc) but they’re still on their conventional channels. Maybe West Wildwood PD? Their municipal code is 513...

I thought West Wildwood was patrolled by North Wildwood PD. Did that change?
West Wildwood has its own PD.
4991 is Stone Harbor PD, District 13. I confirmed and submitted the update when I was down there last week
There is finally some movement with West Caldwell. Money has been approved in the capital budget and the police are going to make the switch. It is unknown if the fire or public works departments are switching also.
West Caldwell also dispatch’s for Caldwell, but no none seems to know if the Caldwell police have any intention of moving. The current plan is to keep the VHF setup for redundancy, and simulcast if Caldwell doesn’t change. More information to come.

From my Unitrunker Logs, 4931 and 4933 have been encrypted (I would assume Police 1 & 2). The rest have been in the clear so far.

Oakland - Bergen county, just license a 800 channel; may get off njics?
With a temporary 6 watt analog repeater? Doubtful.
Multiple Union County Communications techs' portables affiliating to Fireground 10, which is unusual since it's currently unassigned. Possible testing for the next transition perhaps?
I don't see why they would need to. Ramapo is literally up the hill from Oakland...
After doing some more research, GE is for national emergency frequencies. So I'm assuming those are 800 freqs for interop.
Anything GE falls under 47 CFR § 90.16 Public Safety National Plan.
Anybody notice the station classes on the license include FB2T for (2) units? As in temporary repeaters? Didn't Oakland Police acquire a new command vehicle and a custom Ford F59 step-van by LDV (aka: Good Humor truck with lights) not that long ago? Just a thought...
For those playing the home game btw: ULS License - PubSafty/SpecEmer/PubSaftyNtlPlan,806-817/851-862MHz,Conv License - WRJD945 - BOROUGH OF OAKLAND POLICE DEPTMENT
GE does not mean "national emergency frequencies". GE is the post-rebanding consolidation of the older GP and GF service codes. Every 800 MHz public safety conventional license in NJ falls under the GE service code; the other two are defunct.
GE = Public Safety/Special Emergency, and Public Safety National Plan - 851-862 MHz - Conventional (post-rebanding)
GP = Public Safety/Special Emergency - 851-866 MHz - Conventional (pre-rebanding)
GF = Public Safety National Plan - 866-869 MHz - Conventional (pre-rebanding)
Ding ding ding...
Thanks for the clarification GTR.
Also noticed yesterday that there is a new tower erected on Skyline drive, didnt catch the MM where they installed it but its south of the Ramapo site. Looks 'really' top heavy and probably has to be in order to get over the top of the trees and ridges.
Milemarker 2.6-ish it should be. 369m AMSL, 107m AGL.
I noticed that a couple weeks back when they were finishing it up. Hell, they still had the nylon fly ropes draped from the top to the ground, bracket packaging around the base, and the power meters weren't all installed at the time. Looked like they were still putting dishes up. It appears to just have a number of microwave and cellular licenses on it as of now according to the ULS. Belongs to Subcarrier Communications in Old Bridge, who are apparently heavily involved in site construction and leasing for LTE and MW point-point links.
Besides being top heavy, there was also a helllll of a lot of power running to the site based on the number of meter mounts and generators.

Forgive me for bringing up something this old, but last night an officer confirmed your statement APX.
Oakland was looking for a 450(possible DUI/DWI) driver and they must’ve gotten onto 208.
Heard an Oakland officer say: “yeah I’m listening to Wyckoff now.”
Good to know they have them, and I assume the other surrounding towns that are P25(on and not on NJICS).
