Is the NWS MICRN (Severe Weather Net) still active?
I haven't been hearing much on the airwaves.

The entire network has moved to an unknown DMR network. I don't have the equipment to monitor the new system so the feed will be down. I'm still trying to identify what network they are on and then locate gear to add it back to the feed.
Yeah, it sucks that they had to change things. I will have to see if I can even monitor the new frequency/system.
If you learn anything new, let me know. NWS MICRN was a very helpful resource.

Just guessing but try this DMR network,
Capacity Plus CC1
857.1125 Ch 1 and 2
856.1125 Ch 3 and 4
858.1125 Ch 5 and 6
859.1125 Ch 7 and 8
These frequencies were once part of the analog trunked system that the NWS was using.

Did you test this out RadioMan?

I have a Radio Shack Pro-97 scanner. Any chance of being able to program this system into it?

I'm going to pick up a DMR radio to get the feed back going, I have had limited success decoding it from my location but the feed location has extremely good signal.
If I can get it to work with the PRO radio, I would piggyback it along the Ames feed like I did before they removed it from the old talkgroup. I'm hopeful that you can get your feed online before severe weather season ramps up.

There aren't any scanners that can decode DMR. You will need a DMR radio or software to decode this system.

Any updates on this? Inquiring minds want to know

A friend of mine works at PCSO. He thinks that they moved to an Electronic Engineering site if that helps.

Yep they did, iascanguy has the freqs they are using on DMR now. I am trying to procure a radio to put the stream back online but they are far from free. No real firm ETA yet.
Talking with Story County....they didn't feel the need to upgrade to the new DMR system either. Too much cost per radio.
