What is the radio system that terre haute uses? I have input the codes yet i dont get anything. Is it digital?

What scanner are you using?

The frequencies have to be programmed into a specific order into trunking scanners.

No Terre Haute Police talkgroups are monitorable on any trunking scanner - it is a different kind of digital.

Terre Haute Fire is analog, as well as a rebroadcast of Vigo County Sheriff and Indiana State Police.

Hey, not a problem. There's plenty to listen to with your 2051 - it's a nice scanner.

Just read the manual please - it will help out.
Just read the manual please - it will help out (yes, I am repeating myself).

In general here's what you can't listen to in the ISP Terre Haute District with your scanner: Parke County Sheriff, Vermillion County Sheriff, ISU Police, Terre Haute Federal Penitentiary. Everybody else is either still analog or simulcasts their transmissions from the main trunked system for the area - Project Hoosier SAFE-T.

Why did I put this together - hey, I remember my first scanner and a guy that helped me. Just trying to repay the debt...

Let's start out with a bank layout. Here's what I suggest...

Bank 01: ISP District 32 - Conventional
Bank 02: Indiana Project Hoosier SAFE-T Terre Haute - Motorola Trunking
Bank 03: Terre Haute - EDACS Trunking
Bank 04: Union Hospital - LTR Trunking
Bank 05: Illinois State - Conventional (west)
Bank 06: Amateur Radio/Skywarn
Bank 07: Utilities
Bank 08: Aircraft
Bank 09: Railroads
Bank 10: Leave this blank or program as you wish.

Thats awsome man. That really helps out with all the info. Now i can set this thing up and hear something for once. Thanks again. I cant tell you how much this helps.

smokestack · #6 (**permalink**) 06-19-2006, 01:13 PM

Yeah - I hear ya' - seems like some guy helped me with several questions regarding Terre Haute a couple of months ago. Can't remember his name, but seems like he likes chasing tornados over in Illinois. Hope you're still enjoying those free battery holders!!!

Radioshack PRO-96 are on sale for $399. In addition, the store on Wabash Avenue (Kroger Plaza) is closing and they have these in stock - not sure, but there may be additional markdowns????
