Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my setup for the NJSP 800MHz system.
I'm in West Caldwell, trying to listen to 4-COMM and other T/Gs from Troop B. I have the North Simulcast system programmed into my 996xt and my 996p2. Both are fed off a discone up at 40', and both scanners seem to be otherwise receiving OK. I am occasionally having difficulty finding the control channel for the NJSP, but even when I do and I'm hearing audio, readability is generally very low and signals are far from full quieting. As of this writing, I'm receiving the control channel on 859.9625 with only the first signal bar flashing.
I'm under the impression that one of the sites is in Montclair, which should be absolutely full quieting to me. Can anybody shed any light on what could be happening here? This is unexpected.
Also, at this point is most of the activity from Troop B being simulcast on the NJICS system? I know when I listened a year or so back only a small portion of the 800 MHz 4-COMM transmissions were coming through NJICS, but just listening today I'm hearing everything (at least in the 2-hour window I've been monitoring). For comparison, I'm using TG numbers 2235 (NJICS) and 35760 (800 MHz). Thanks in advance.
