Narrative:
We began to receive numerous and constant TA's from our TCASII. At 3000-5000 ft, received an RA to climb, which I did to approximately 300 ft above my assigned altitude. My first officer spotted the aircraft approximately 100 ft below and 100 ft horizontal. The first officer attempted to contact ATC, but was unable until ATC called us and he advised ATC of our RA. As I started to return to assigned altitude, received a second RA to climb, which I did to approximately 500 ft above assigned. We never spotted the aircraft. As we leveled, we received a third RA to descend, which we did by 500 ft. Again we did not spot the aircraft and could not contact ATC until they contacted us and we climbed to altitude and were cleared for the approach.

Title: A BAE125 FLC RECEIVED 3 TCASII RA'S BTWN 3000-5000 FT MSL ON DSCNT INTO TEB.
Narrative: WE BEGAN TO RECEIVE NUMEROUS AND CONSTANT TA'S FROM OUR TCASII. AT 3000-5000 FT, RECEIVED AN RA TO CLB, WHICH I DID TO APPROX 300 FT ABOVE MY ASSIGNED ALT. MY FO SPOTTED THE ACFT APPROX 100 FT BELOW AND 100 FT HORIZ. THE FO ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT ATC, BUT WAS UNABLE UNTIL ATC CALLED US AND HE ADVISED ATC OF OUR RA. AS I STARTED TO RETURN TO ASSIGNED ALT, RECEIVED A SECOND RA TO CLB, WHICH I DID TO APPROX 500 FT ABOVE ASSIGNED. WE NEVER SPOTTED THE ACFT. AS WE LEVELED, WE RECEIVED A THIRD RA TO DSND, WHICH WE DID BY 500 FT. AGAIN WE DID NOT SPOT THE ACFT AND COULD NOT CONTACT ATC UNTIL THEY CONTACTED US AND WE CLBED TO ALT AND WERE CLRED FOR THE APCH.
