North Wildwood PD signaling

Down in WW for a little “can’t leave the state vaca” and listening to the locals and hear a very strange signaling at the end of North wildwood PD transmissions, almost sounds like old GE lol.

Could it be G-Star?

See if you hear any of the sounds from this webpage: www.w2sjw.com in the Radio Sounds section.

Fleet Sync

I have heard that down there for years. Not sure what equipment they are using, but according to that list, it sounds like DTMF.

I'll be down there soon and will try to confirm

After reading wa3bxw comment and going back and forth between the sound webpage and listening to their traffic I’m pretty sure it’s kenwood fleet sync also, I did see a west Wildwood ofc and his radio def was not a motorola and I believe north wildwood dispatches them also

Sounds like they use both Fleetsync and DTMF

DTMF. Been hearing it for decades on their frequency

N. Wildwood uses Kenwood equipment Portables and mobile, The older equipment utilized DTMF for I.D. the newer radios use FleetSync which is Kenwood's signalling format similar to Motorola's MDC format. Their Zetron consoles are set up to handle the FleetSync format, works fine!
