I'd try joining the KeasbeyNj700 group on zello and asking there, since it's pretty active and has a strong NJ presence. Keep in mind that it's a linked repeater so not everyone will be from Jersey, but you'll probably have better luck getting Jersey people there.
And of course we're sorry to see you go, but at least you'll be helping someone with a brand new radio at a discount. (I've got the same model and like it so far).
