Traveling through OH

[joemoor]

I'm looking for some help identifying the proper talkgroups for MARCS for the Ohio State Patrol. I will be traveling on I-76 --> I-71 --> I-70 as I travel East to West through the state. If they are not on MARCS I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction. First time driving through the state with a capable receiver.

Thanks for the help

I live in Ohio - yet do NOT have an ez way to describe it.

If you can load all MARCS TG - for a start, as for sites.

MAP - Here
State of Ohio MARCS - Multi-Agency Radio Communications - The RadioReference Wiki

Click on Zone 1 and Zone 4.

Since they now use a consolidated dispatch system it is somewhat confusing at times.

What scanner/Software you using?

HP-2 and Sentinel. I will haven't looked at the map you provided yet, will do now. Thanks

Very useful map with everything you need located at:

http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Ohio_State_Highway_Patrol_(OSP)_(OH)

I-76: Post 50, 76, 85
I-71: Post 3, 70, 59, 21
I-70: Post 49, 12, 57

Posts 21 and 49 also cover the north and west portions of I-270 around Columbus.

Don't bother with the post tac talkgroups, they're encrypted.

Call me lazy, but I search the repeater output with the search set to control channel. As I leave one area the radio looses the signal and starts searching for three next. I know he will get other sites doing this he can easily skip through them.

Do you plan on creating a favorite or just using the entire DB? Do you have a GPS?

Missing a ")" at the end of URL.

This should work:

Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSP) (OH) - The RadioReference Wiki

Thanks to ALL

I have the HP-2 programmed with the TG's you specified and the maps are a great reference. I wish I found them on my own.

Thanks again

No, it's there. Don't know where or why that link is going. Just go the the wiki and search for Ohio State High Way Patrol.

No it's NOT there (even though it was later edited in your post

Your referenced link ended in (OSP)_(OH

I edited in the ending ")" in my reference: (OSP)_(OH)
