Their fire and EMS uses Ohio MARCS-IP for dispatch, which I heard last time in that area. They may have switched over some operations to MARCS as well.

I thought I heard runs to Nelsonville on MARCS a couple months ago when down there.
Athens County Fire just switched to their new simulcast system on 156.2325 MHz for all communication. That system replaces a gaggle of low powered repeaters that operated on different frequencies throughout the county. There are a number of fire ground channels in use but all are low power mobile and portable only with no base stations.
There are no plans for Athens County's fire departments (except for the city of Athens) to use MARCS at this time. Athens City Fire is completely on MARCS with VHF simulcast on 154.265 MHz.
Most law enforcement in the county operates on MARCS but the old VHF system ("County L.E.") on 151.19 MHz is still operations. I believe Amesville, Buchtel and Glouster are the only agencies still using County LE on a regular basis and those will switch to MARCS as money permits.
Athens County EMS operates on MARCS with a VHF dispatch simulcast on 159.075 MHz.

Nelsonville Police has their own MARCS talk group. Nelsonville Fire now uses 156.2325 MHz with the rest of Athens County's volunteer fire departments.

this probably should be a new thread, but saw athens county in the conversation and am a total noob.. Just today hooked up a homepatro2 and update data base etc...seems to be working Ok except for Nelsonville York school....all I get there is a loud chattering noise whenever it stops on their frequency. Why am I able to hear other schools but not N-Y??
Looking at their license my guess would be that they've converted over to a digital (probably DMR/MotoTRBO) system, which the HP2 cannot decode.

Nelsonville-York Schools are MOTOTRBO. One talk group is the school buses and the other for administrators.

If you set your scanner to ID Search (Uniden) or create a Wildcard-Group (Whistler, RS, GRE) on your local Hocking Co. / Athens Co. MARCS sites you can discover them all by yourself.
Then you can update RR with anything you find.
Being such a backwoods part of the state, I doubt there are a very many scanner enthusiasts searching for the Nelsonville FD's latest talkgroup. So you may be on your own.
Happy scanning!

In your other thread on this subject it was reported that Nelsonville and Athens County Fire was using 156.2325 and would not be switching to MARCS.
They just started using this system last February. Is there any activity on it?
