Michcon in Wayne County...

[Mike7883d]

The new Michcon frequencies posted for Wayne County... they are posted as APCO, however, they sound to me as just telemetry. Anyone else notice this?

to the best of my knowledge most of all michcon traffic is done over alphapagers, cellphones, and in truck computers. they do still have a radio or 2 but they are hardly used. the best guess is they must be telemetry or for the mdc in the trucks

From what I understand, they can use two-way radios, especially when they arrive on the scene of a gas leak. or want to talk unit-to-unit, or to their dispatch. However, they do generate a lot of digital telemetry.

If anyone can update the DTE Energy freqs for all of Southeastern Michigan, please by all means submit them to us. I would love to know their "Storm Center" freqs.

You will see Northville which is in Wayne county. I know they do this in Kent county in the G.R. area.

DTE and Consumers are different companies. DTE owns Detroit Edision (electric) and Michcon (gas). I don't think Consumers is in Detroit. When I lived in Detroit, Consumers was only outside of the city.

yes MichCon handles the city and parts of downriver, part of the west side of the state and parts of nothern michigan. As I said I have a source that can identify most of the radio traffic is done through nextels, cell phones, alpha pagers, and in truck computers. There is a radio, but it is hardly ever used anymore.

Western Wayne Co disp is 153.500. Monroe County and Downriver is 153.420 its not as active due to mdts and cell phones in their trucks, But you can still hear traffic during the day.

hello all
as a dte energy (edison side) I can tell you there are no storm center freqs.we have a new mdt system in all trucks,however its not used for dispatching as of now.storm dispatching is done on all the regular frequencies.Most standard dispatching is done by cellphone.also most crews get their work instructions at service center in morning.only trouble calls and emergencies are dispached after crews leave service center.hope this helps
