Each frequency, other than the City Wides, is specific to a ceratin area. So, what frequency are you referring to? And the answer is generally the target coverage area.

Coverage will be frequency specific, even on the wide area frequecies, each frequency generally has different base station sites. Coverage will logically be designed to the priorities of the intended use. SOD and Highway have different sites and their critical portable coverage needs are obviously different.
Received, thank you both. Was wondering if the digital system would have greater range, and if so, how far omnidirectionally. I guess the only way to know would be to test it, or if someone knowledgeable of the site locations and hardware chimed in.
Back to your original question about coverage in NJ. Each frequency is designed to enhance coverage in specific areas of NYC so any change in NJ is likely to be for the worse unless there is a reason for enhancement in that direcction.
I'm only 5 miles south west of Manhattan - signal strengths from the Manhattan, Brooklyn pcts seem about the same as the old analog systems. I might be too close for my results to matter, though.
