IIMARS in Ada County

[jimvv]

Looks like IIMARS is up in Ada County. Although I have yet to hear any Ada units on, I have heard what sounded like a little testing. Wish I could monitor during the day time... Please let me know what you have heard

What are the freqs?

Check the data Base under Ada County, IIMARS. It is all in 700 Mhz and digital. So if you dont have one of Unidens new scanners it wont work.

Yes, they are operational. Try listening to ID:1000 and ID:1100 to start. They are obviously simulcasting right now and the three multi-site trunking sites all appear to be operational. Might consider using the scanner's AGC. The Ada County System is LOUD compared to the Eastern Talkgroups.

I suspect as time goes on, you'll see more talkgroups appear on the system. I wonder what their implementation schedule is? Whom was the first agency to come online?

It appears to be Ada County Sheriff but they are manipulating what they are transmitting. Sometimes I hear dispatch and sometimes only the mobile side of the conversation on either TG. More investigation required.

The fire department is doing a fair amount of testing and communication on the system. You can now hear the fire depart. manage fires from across town. The old system all you could hear was the dispatch and maybe an engine.

Does anyone have the correct tower/site ID for the Ada County system?
