They still are licensed for a whole slew of frequencies in the 460-478MHz range so it looks like two options are on the table for when they vacate T Band.

Hmmmmm so the county freeholders took back the funding for it?

You must have read a different article than i cause no where in what has been
posted did it say that.
Oops - sorry just noticed that this post was from 2012. I hate it when someone
brings alive an old thread some of the older posts appear as new.
I think it should be a sticky like the Camden County one. Once the system comes alive people will start posting their findings and will probably start another thread on it which would not be necessary if this one is a sticky.
Monmouth County Posb New Trunk Sys.
If the system is on the air, can you get us some system information, please? Looking for the SysID, WACN, active control channel...and verification that it's RFSS 1, Site 1 also. Thanks.
There has been some radio traffic between June 20 - June 22 on the Ocean County 700Mhz from '110 ID 110' with a handful of transmissions each day, all between 6-9am. The conversations sound like interactions with the Comm Center about administrative stuff (non dispatch related). I appears they are just playing around and testing the new radio system.
Actually they, along with Camden County are indeed migrating to a countywide 700MHz. trunked system platform which will eventually be combined into the NJ Statewide systems to allow roaming throughout the state. Most users who are abandoning UHF T-Band in NJ will be following this migration path under authority of the Attorney General for the State of New Jersey; otherwise they will loose funding from the state for such projects. This also applies for Federal funding as well. Most agencies across the country are being forced into consolidated systems such as this. It's not necessarily a bad thing either as many in New Jersey are trying to make it out to be. They are just scared they are loosing the strong holds on their little fiefdoms they've controlled for years.
700MHz. is the new "cats meow" on the block, just like 800MHz. was in it's day, and VHF-Hi Band in it's heyday...
Rest assured, the new 700MHz. systems will be some flavor of Project-25 Phase-II, most likely TDMA-X2 in New Jersey. Even Atlantic County, historically M/A-COM EDACS based is migrating to Project-25 in the near future.
Status quo is no more in New Jersey; like it or not, the 21st century is finally upon you!
Coming soon to a county near you; Countywide Police, Fire, EMS, and Public Works services... Just wait, it's coming too...
