Preble county MARCS

[N9DVD]

I work in EATON and I am looking for the 800 MHz control frequencies in use by the MARCS statewide.

Is there a site actually in Preble county or do they use counties next to them? Darke, Butler, or Montgomery?

Any help would be great !
Thanks,
Branden

OSP for preble is out of post 57 (Dayton)

So what control frequency do I use for Preble couty? The one listed for Montgomery county?

Will I even be able to hear it? Do they not have a site in Preble county?

What kind of scanner are you using???

UNIDEN 396T (digital) I only need to enter the control frequency

They Dayton site CC 868.6 is probably your best bet, but if you check Ohio MARCS in the RR database, it lists other sites as well.

O I just wanted to check and make sure that a "Preble site" was not listed.

I will give Dayton a shot when I head to work tonight.

Thanks

The following MARCS sites provide coverage to Preble County:

133 -- Dayton
135 -- Greenville
357 -- College Corner (I label this as Oxford)

I can here College Corner pretty well, just not in the building where I work. (North side of Eaton)


Are there any plans on a site build here actually in Preble County? Or is there even a need for it now?


Thanks

Those three sites I listed above provide good coverage of Preble County, there is no need for a MARCS site build in the county itself nor is any planned that I know of.
MARCS is not designed for "in-building" coverage (except for the Columbus area),
and this is especially true for rural areas such as Preble County.
