what type of scanner will you need to monitor South Brunswick's EMS alerting frequency: 45.36000 ?
No and no. Although there are many different users on 154.430 (Monmouth & Mercer counties, locally) and with only a basic scanner you will hear them all. With a more advanced scanner, you can tune out everybody except Monroe Township. Do note that Monroe only does paging on that channel, not full 2-way dispatch communications.do you need a trunking scanner to monitor monroe township,nj's fire dispatch frequency:154.43000 and middlesex counties police hotline frequency:453.47500 ?
No for fire, and no for the EMS paging channel (155.235). You would need a digital trunking scanner to listen to Franklin's 2-way EMS communications.one last question: do you need trunking scanner to monitor franklin township,nj's fire frequency:154.14500 and ems?
No and no. Although there are many different users on 154.430 (Monmouth & Mercer counties, locally) and with only a basic scanner you will hear them all. With a more advanced scanner, you can tune out everybody except Monroe Township.
And except for North Brunswick PD, which is digital conventional. Also, Monroe Fire Ops are low-power tactical channels, you won't hear them from South Brunswick unless you're on one shoulder of 535 and they're right across the yellow lines (okay, I exaggerate a little, but I would guess a half-mile tops).Any scanner would work for all except some of Monroe Twp's operations.
Monroe EMS is mostly a paid service. They have no pagers, alerting is done via trunked radio or in-house via landline / hardwire connection.There is a talk group on the trunk system listed as EMS dispatch for them but pager alerting cannot be done via a trunk system. It has to be done via a conventional frequency and there is none listed for that on the database here so I don't know how EMS is alerted. Maybe someone who monitors them can shed some light on that for you.
