501.5625
Thank you. It seems to have changed in recent months.
I am picking up there CC right now at 501.4125
Rotating CC's
I too have them currently on 501.4125. If I recall correctly they do rotate their CC's regularly (maybe daily...?) between the three listed in the DB (Adding 501.7625 to what has been posted so far). I just keep all of them programmed and don't miss a thing.

I got 501.4125 now also. I see they also have a new County Police Dispatch Talkgroup 4768 well new to me and it's not in the DB.
A lot of times I pick up digital noise on 501.4125 but this is actually interference from the Bucks County, PA system. I have received this as far south as Washington Twp. area.
Salem County rotates their control channel daily (was around midnight, until time change, can't remember if its an hour ahead or behind now). They use four frequencies for the control channels. 501.4125, 501.5625, 501.7375, and 501.7625. The new talkgroup replaces the old 156.210 county-wide police channel 1, as Pennsville among other districts have finally moved completely to the trunked system. Before, Pennsville was using the trunked system on their portables when out of the car, such as on traffic stops, but they were still using the VHF frequencies when mobile in the car.

Ok I'm not familiar with Salem Co. I know district 5 Pennsville Twp. and some other deptartments are using the 4768 Police Dispatch and I know some of the 3100/3200 talkgroups are reffered to as CH2. So all the Police on the county system are dispatched on that talkgroup? I been working on figuring out the system on my own but I need to get a street map of Salem County. I also been wanting to check that Cowtown place out anyone know what town that is in? I have noticed that the VHF freq has been quiet but I never could copy the mobiles from Delco anyway.
04768 is now Countywide Channel 1, which is what all units are supposed to monitor. When an individual town has traffic for their units, they will request that their units switch to channel two. Example, Pennsville PD is dispatched from the county, so say they get a complaint about a barking dog. County dispatcher will say County to 5 Cars, District 5, Channel 2. Units will go to 2, and reply with their unit number on 2. They will get the report and then the dispatcher will say back to 1. So channel 2 is really not very specific unless you hear what town its for. Pennsville has a channel 2, Carney's Point has their own channel 2, and so on. If you look in the DB, where you see Pennsville PD and the talkgroup, that is Pennsville's Channel 2, and again, the same holds true for the rest of the towns.

Thats what I figured, kind of a wierd setup though.
I guess it's a pretty safe area because there is not much radio traffic besides district 5.
