On the 700mhz side is Hillsborough, Manville, Bernards (with a patch as well), and Dunellen's Dispatch Console. Dunellen is using the UHF side for all other units, which is why it comes over both. Those portables/mobiles are from when they were using P-Way's system. Dunellen is all FDMA from what I have seen.

I believe Bedminster, Far Hills, Peapak Gladstone, North Plainfield and Green Brook are operating off the 500 Simulcast System on
analog.
Somerville, Raritan, Branchburg, Manville, Montgomery, South Bound Brook and Dunellen are digital operating on Phase l.
Bernards, Hillsborough and eventually Bridgewater are digital and operate off Phase ll.

Everytime I have have monitored Dunellen, all the radio ID's have been in NJICS format. Are you sure they are using UHF?
Bernard's radio's have been in the 48xxx range.

I am now getting communications on somerset county p-25 TRS ..talk group 735. this is not listed in the database.. i heard a bunch of "500 " units" ..could be a Branchburg Tac channel.. anyone know ?
That equals 11760 on the older system, which isn't a listed TGID either. Local PD's would be using their '2x2' numbering system, so that might be a county agency unit...
Ninja-edit - that TGID is right next to a TG known to be used by Montgomery PD...

yes..it seems it might be a montgomery talk group...heard some streets in that township... and might be a township channel., not PD
I've been listening to the 700 system with a amp from Lambertville area for months with 3-4 bars now nothing. There must be a site down somewhere.

my bcd436 hp indicates its receiving Dunellen on the 700 side..(not uhf.) .. with p25 mode
It's simulcast on both. The subscriber units are on UHF, the dispatch Consolette is 700mhz so you will hear it on both sites.

Ok, you guys are confusing the heck out of me. "Technically," Somerset County has three systems (500 Smartzone, 500 P25 and 700 P25). From what I'm reading, only the 700 side is Phase II. From what I'm also reading, some of the analog TGs are simulcasted on 500 P25, 700 P25 or both. I'm also reading some units use 700 P25 exclusively. As you can see, this gets really complicated to know who is where.
What I'd like to do is make a list of who is where and on what system and maybe we can list that in the DB. For example:
UHF Smartzone
Region XYZ
ABC PD
DEF PD (simulcasted on 500 P25)
500 P25
DEF PD (simulcasted from UHF Smartzone)
GHI PD (exclusive)

Correct. They came from the Piscataway TRS, so their radios are still the UHF models. Where you hear a unit & what band they are actually on don't always match when it comes to Somerset right now!

what I would like to know is.. can anyone tell me the actual transmitter sites (locations) being used in the Somerset County p-25 TRS ? and are ALL sites BOTH 700/500 ? i am trying to figure out what type of antenna to use and where to point it... I still cant hear The Bernards Twp PD at my home in bernards twp clearly... i must be in a bad spot for the system.. but the interesting thing is, ALL other agencies on the system come in loud and clear..which makes no sense.
