Did anybody else notice if NJSP troop c was acting weird this morning? First of all the control channel was 859.7125 instead of 860.7125. I kept getting Central 4 Comm on North 5-Comm (somerville) and as I was trying to listen to an incident on 295 broadcast on Central 5-comm (Bordentown) another talkgroup was coming in over it. At times certain channels would be left hanging seconds after the carrier was dropped. I also noticed some new voice channels pop up. I was 867.6625, 867.2125, and 868.3125. I noticed these would come in weaker than the regularly used voice channels. All in all it was a horrible mess and I stopped listening. Right now it seems back to normal. So I wonder what the hell that was about. ?

As far as the control channel switching, in SmartZone systems if there is a failure of channel 1 control channel it will switch to channel 2. In this case that is 859.7125.
It might be tied to the tropo conditions we have been seeing the last couple of nights.
A lot of mornings I have had two control channels running at the same time on Troop A. If it locks on the other one (I think it is 858.9375) I don't here any talk groups at all. 99% of the time the control channel is on 860.9375. There has been a lot of lock-ups and weird things going on with the whole system lately.
