Hamilton County

[mjdewey]

I saw on a recent FCC license application for Hamilton County that still shows 860.8125 repeater being
part of their system after the re-banding. It is not listed on the most recent LCN list for the Hamilton County system. Is it being used or does anybody have the LCN for it?

MDT Data througout the county is handled by aircards: verizon, sprint, at&t. The data features are not utilized on the EDACS system.

They apparently are using the same or similar aircard system Hancock Co. is using which utilizes a seperate site, not Verizon, Sprint or AT&T. The disadvantage is that it is not countywide coverage wise and even near the site doesn't work well either. The Hancock Co. site is near Maxwell but in Maxwell they can't connect all the time. They should have stuck with the setup they had before as it did use a cell provider and had better coverage. This system however doesn't tie up trunked systems with data, which may be why both counties went to it.

Yeah, I forgot all about the air cards.

Hamilton County does NOT use the EDACS system for data services. Those, as already mentioned by zerobleu, is handled by the cellular network carriers, Verizon, Att, Sprint, Etc.

If you and zerobleu think they are going to use cell sites your sadly mistaken.... and IF you learn to read you will see I never said they were using the EDACS system for the aircards....DUH!

That reads as if HamCo is using another tower site for data on their own network, which they are, and are not. They are using different sites i.e: the cellular network, but they are not using the EDACS system for MDT Data.

So, no, we are not sadly mistaken. Besides, the tower in Fishers is on a cell phone tower so.... Once again Viper you have shown exactly how little you do know about HamCo's network.:roll:

Chill out with the attitude..

Did it, or has it ever, occurred to you that you could be talking with people who actually know what they are talking about and not what they *think* they know? Or even people who are actually involved with the various systems, including this one?

Just out of curiosity, and since you seem to know, please enlighten us. If they aren't using cellular sites for the air cards, and are not using the TRS, what "separate site" is being used?

 

[SCPD]

Hamilton County does use Air Cards with Cell towers this is one reason why they have a lot of MDT issues as for the 860.8125 more than likely from what I was told is to fix the issue of talk around simplex before reband they used the 851 and 852 freqs for talk around or simplex Carmel School Buses used these heavy when on field trips and doing Emergency Bus Evac training in the past month they found out that this is causing trouble when some one is on simplex lets say on 852.1875 and the site hits on that freq that the people on simplex cant hear and it causes problems for the users on the system at the same time so one idea is reprogram the radios for talk around simplex on 860.8125 keep in mind they did not have to get rid of the upper 800 freqs they can get a waiver to keep them and give up the rest to Sprint Nextel it all depends on what deal they had with the FCC and Sprint Nextel

Bump...Where ya at V, waiting for your reply....

My Dad had a Radio Shack Pro-95 20-525 hand help scanner. I found an owners manual online, but I am very confused on how to program it. I am wanting to find fire and police codes for Hamilton County and Noblesville. I have found 2 channels but it only picks up bit and pieces. Is that normal?

Thanks
Sean

you may want to look into the RR database

Hamilton County, Indiana (IN) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

there is all of the info for hamco.

 

[seanwcole]

So these are the codes to enter correct?
Site Hex Name
001 1 Primary 01 856.81250 02 857.81250 03 858.81250 04 859.81250c 05 857.51250 06 852.18750 07 852.77500
08 853.07500 09 853.55000 10 853.80000 11 851.76250 12 852.35000 13 852.80000 14 853.32500
15 853.66250

you would need to refer to your owners manual for the proper way to program it. I am not aware of how to program that exact scanner, but all of the data you need to program it, is located within the RR Database.

Good Luck.

BTW, I just noticed the latest FCC data that dftouch posted for the new tower. Five of the frequencies have half the power output of the other ten. I wonder what's up with that?

5 of the 15 frequencies in use are owned by Carmel so they will be a little different in power than that of the EDACS system as a whole if that makes sense

I thought they turned them over to the county, but apparently not. So they are limited by the license to the lower power level for those frequencies?

Thanks for the clarification, I never would have guessed that.

If you look at the FCC DB Carmel still has there's but let Hamilton County use them not sure how that works just like MECA they have the CC freq of SYS 2 running IPL but IPL is not Lic for the CC you would think that all 15 would be on the new tower and they would merge the lic but this way if they would splt both would have there own system kind of like when they go into bypass some times. I also found a web site called home facts that show's the new tower and info on it.

 

[scannerfreak]

All, I received some info that the new tower is set to go online next week if all goes as planned.

FYI
