Hello,
Is there a way to create an Ohio MARCS "control channel only" template in excel and import that template into Sentinel?

FCC License App for new site in Plymouth OH (Richland Co)


851.2625
851.475
851.675
852.625
853.325
853.525
853.7625
853.9875

Construction notification filed with FCC suggesting site has been built out. If there is anyone in the Richalnd Co area reading this thread, you might want to check the above frequencies for a new P25 site. It would likely be in Zone 2.

confirmation on the plymouth site discovered it yesterday id is 002 071 gathering talkgroup #'s and hits off of it now

Thank you. Do you use a scanner, or do you also have access to Pro96Com, Unitrunker or DSDPlus? If you have access to any of the latter, can you get information on (a) the NAC, (b) all control channels - primary and alt, (c) site peers/neighbors?

What is the active CC for Plymouth right now?

Thanks

Mike

I'm in Huber Heights listening to the Montgomery County site 004-003 and noticed talkgroup 10541 had activity this morning about 0830. This talkgroup is not ID'ed in RR but it sounded like the Enon Fire dispatcher asking Battalion 50 if he was clear. I also saw activity on this talkgroup from a user ID I had previously marked as Enon Medic 2. Is Enon Fire finally making the move to MARCS?
DB shows that TG as Enon and as a feed provider I am sooo happy to remove 15416 from my feed

Last I knew the Enon Dispatchers still dispatched from their homes so would make sense.

Wow. Didn't know anybody still did that, talk about a liability nightmare these days. Do they still use firebar phones, too?

Somebody who has access to DSDPlus or Unitrunker or Pro96Com should check the peer list on one of the neighbor sites to see if the neighbors still show Troy as an active site. Never know, they could have changed control channels to some freq that isn't in the DB.

Changing the control channel(s) is not really an option; unless they used a control channel already in use at another site it would require reprogramming every radio in the state. Control channels are carefully selected to provide maximum performance at the location while minimizing interference to/from other sites, so changing to a completely new frequency is not a casual undertaking.

While it's possible that it's been taken down for major maintenance, that doesn't usually take more than a day unless it got totally destroyed.

If the control channels at the site are both identified (and it looks like they are), my bet is that the site has been decommissioned. Since there are no major state facilities (like a prison) near it, and since roaming users can sponge off the generosity of Miami County taxpayers, there's no real reason for them to keep it.
