Lately I have been getting alot of static on one of the scanner frequencies. I wonder if this is something someone else has been hearing or if I need to adjust my scanner for better reception. The problem seems to be on Ames Ops 1 and it sounds like someone is keying the mic, but no body is heard on ether end.

Questions To Help
I have reviewed the various radio systems in Ames, Iowa since I have Iowa programmed into my PSR 500; however, I cannot find a reference for "Ames Ops 1."
It would be very helpful if you would specify: a) your scanner model; b) the radio system and talk group associated with the aforementioned alpha tag; c) the frequency in case it is conventional & d) the type of service you are monitoring (police, fire, etc).
I have reviewed: a) conventional frequencies for Story county; b) RACOM; c) and Story county trunking.

I could be any of the frequencies associated with Ames public safety on the Ames Electronic Engineering SMR talkgroup.
Its been quite awhile since I have heard the noise on the radio Listen for it after dark or in the morning hours. As far as I know it could just be one of the police/fire radios going bad.
Ames Ops 1 is what we often call out on the radio when we are referring to Ames PD Dispatch. Its pretty common to call it ops1. Code: 57408.

Learned Something Today
Well, I was getting a bit confused. I assumed the trunking system you were talking about had something to do with Story County, but I see where I was wrong. Thanks, I will now program this system for Iowa. Hope you figure out your issue. Are you receiving other talk groups in this system?
Are you have difficulty receiving other frequencies and/or talk groups? What type of scanner are you using?

Same scanner and programming for the past two years....
OK, quick question.....Why under story county do they list two different trunked systems for ISU?
One has 5 frequencies but hasn't been updated since June 2, 2010
One just links back up to Electronic Engineering SMR for Ames.
I know ISU shares both, but it almost made me create a new trunked system before I realized it was just referring back.
But really.....The isu one hasn't been updated since June 2, 2010?
