My brother is going to check this afternoon.
Powder Mill was still not on the air as of 20h00 tonight.
It's safe to say that Powder Mill is fully installed and ready to go. It was active at 09h30 this morning with an RSSI of -41 with no antenna, but off again at 16h30 tonight. Might be worth watching it this week. No changes to other parameters seen. I will say though, it has again been reaffirmed this is going to be a flamethrower of a system. With Powder Mill off this evening, there was still an RSSI of -40 up on the hill.
And one would think two neighboring towns like Parsippany and Hanover couldn’t sit at a table together and build a combined system, especially with the footprint they could have. But I digress....
Looks it sure will be. I was getting about 3 bars on my 325p2, in the Wanaque/Pompton Lakes area in town, not at a high elevation. Signal was in and out however. As a note, that was with a rubber duck, the radio shack telescoping antenna. With the last sight turned on, and when I get a new antenna on my car, I bet I’ll get it from town in Ringwood.
Hearing PD now on talkgroup 1001.
Database has already been updated with the full TG's. Also Powder Mill is on the air.

What control channel are they using currently? I don't hear anything on 771.16875 from West Orange. I was hoping Powder Mill would fix that but unfortunately not.
As of this morning still 771.168750MHz.
Make sure you've done the database update.
It wouldn't be listed under the municipality, it would be listed as a system. But, yeah, son of a gun, it isn't there...

Maybe will be added before the Monday database update? I put it in manually, and the system is full strength in Livingston, but no voice activity heard...
I suspect it's due to the old issue where lacking talkgroups until after the most recent update that the Uniden protocols refused to recognize it as valid. So the likelihood is Monday around 12:00n it should appear in the next update.
Right, but by saying "old issue" I was just trying to politely but sarcastically infer it's dumb in my personal opinion. A system with no talkgroups should be available in the Uniden database, since with ID search enabled, you could find TG's.
