NJSP Homdel on Troop B System

[robbinsj2]

With the simulcasting, wouldn't all Troop A towers be putting out the same traffic? So if anyone on a Troop A tower is affiliated with a talkgroup, it'll come over all the troop A towers?

I took Rocket's post to mean that each troop was effectively a zone, not that each tower was its own zone. Talkgroups that were statewide would now only be transmitted statewide if a radio in each troop is currently affiliated to it.

EWA: dispatchers could conceivably patch two or more talkgroups together if a BOLO spans counties. Whether NJSP wants to give that sort of control to local municipal dispatchers, or whether they want to be bothered to set up and terminate the patches themselves, is another matter. Around me each county has their own conventional channel (SPEN is available but generally eschewed) so multiple talkgroups wouldn't be much different even without the patching.

For the 1st time in recent memory, I heard the NJSP Atlantic City Expressway TG on the Troop C system. I guess someone's radio was affiliated?

Agreed, SPEN, and its abuse, is a disgrace...but what do you propose to "fix" it?

I would make it like the Hudson County LERN system. on the 800 trunked system each agency would have it's own Fleet ID.

Yes, A lot of money to do this considering all the cars - base stations and portable radios but the days of P.S. Dispatch Center's of playing Porno movies sounds over the air would
stop.

How would that stop it?
