Hello!

I live in Farmersville Ohio and I would like to be able to listen my local gas and electric utilities for power outages. I am unable to find the. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Doing a quick look on the FCC web site, there are none for Ohio. They probably have a license from another state or corporate HQ.

Thank you for checking!

AES Ohio is the parent of DPL (Dayton Power & Light), I assume the following still applies: Dayton Power & Light Company | Harris OpenSky

CenterPoint has a few 900 MHz SCADA data licenses but nothing pops up for voice.

DP and L was on a Harris (Ma-com, Comnet, GE, etc.) Open Sky system that was unable to be listened to. Then approx 15 years ago they switched to a Motorola Harmony system, which is also not able to be listened to. My understanding is that Harmony is based on the iDEN system (old Nextel).

Unlike before Open Sky when they were mostly low band (48.18, 48.06, etc) with some high band and UHF in Dayton.

My understanding is Centerpoint Energy doesn't use any radios.

I was going to jump in on this one; but, couldn't exactly remember the name of the system... Thanks for refreshing my memory!

Yup, DP & L has been off the monitoring list for ages... I used to listen to them, back when they were using the EDACs stuff... been a long time
