Oh damn, so pretty much anything that is simulcasted from the 800 system is D, all the non simulcasted stuff is T. Is that pretty accurate?
NJSP Troop B

I used to hear the North Simulcast Troop B up here in Ct. about 75% of the time. The Control Channel is also now being used by Bristol, Ct. trunked system so that pretty much took care of that. But it seems like I should still hear the control channel at least hetrodynimg with the Bristol one because I don't get the Bristol CC very strong. So my guess is that the Troob B system may be transmitting with less power or the transmitter changed in some way. I am presently getting the NJICS sites Union County simulcast site and West Orange simulcast sites perfectly for comparison.

Yup, pretty much. Note that the NJSP activity can be hit or miss on the NJICS system, depending on which site you monitor. Gotta have a radio affiliated at the site with the talkgroup for it to simulcast.
You're picking up NJICS in Milford, CT? That's impressive. You must be at a high elevation.
Yes I'm at 129 feet ASL and 800 ft. Yes I'm at 129 feet ASL and 800 ft. From Long is. Sound. Basically nothing in the way from me to the water. Like having a 129 foot mast on the house

That's pretty good. I live right outside of Newark at close to 500' elevation and I have never been able to pick up anything from CT except for a very faint signal of Stamford Fire VHF many years ago.

We used to get Fairfield CT FD in JC on the FD rigs if we had open PL on 460-550. We would get Fairfield NJ too, but that's no trick for JC.
Hi guys/gals.
After a few times trying what y'all suggested I haven't had no luck yet.
On FreeScan I have the options of programming NJSP as follows.
I have tried 1 through 4 with no results.
1- Moto 800mhz Type I
2- Moto Type II / P25
3- P25 standard Digital XT
4- P25 one freq trunk Digital XT
5- LTR
6- EDACS Scat
7- EDACS Narrow Wide.
I feel I am missing a setting or something.
As a side note I have Morris County system programmed in and I hear everything from Morristown to Rockaway loud and clear.
Thanks again.

What radio are you using?
Bcd996xt
Set it up just like this and it should work. Works fine on my BCD396XT up here in Ct. You need to have the custom system bandplan filled in (rebanded system). If you are able to import from RadioReference, that would be the easiest way.

I donated to Radio Ref and became a member and went to Freescan and
then to RR site and downloaded Motorola type II/ p25.
Still nothing. Gotta be my location. Im gonna take it to somebodys house
and try it at another location.

Ok. Here is the latest.
I found an old Radio Shack 800mhz rubber ducky. I stuck it on and picks up a little
but not any of the other channels I have programmed.
So as of now I will continue to use my Tram mag mount and wait till I either move or get an upstairs apt
to monitor the 800 system.
Thanks for all of your help.
