Oshp

[Aaron88]

I live in Wheelersburg and I programed the Ohio State Highway Patrol ( district 9 post 73) Frequencies in my scanner and I hear no activity on these frequencies. My scanner is a Uniden BC92XLT

Here is where I got the OSHP frequencies:

Those freqs are no longer in use. They are on MARCS Now.

www.scanohio.com is obselete.

 

[KD8CHP]

Sure is kinda sad.

It's for sale isn't it?

 

[FPO703]

Yes. At least that's what it says on the top of the main page.

 

[Colin9690]

It's for sale isn't it?

Yep.

Aaron88: Unless you have a digital scanner, you can't monitor OSP.

Here is my scanner http://www.boscovs.com/StoreFrontWe...&assortmentId=2&itemNumber=30098&type=Product


Will it work to monitor the patrol?

 

[radioscan]

No, you will have to get a digital scanner to monitor OSP.

Here is what is currently available to monitor OSP:


Radio Shack:

Pro-96 Handheld
Pro-2096 Desktop/Mobile

Uniden:

BCD-396T Handheld
BCD-996T Desktop/Mobile
BC -796D Desktop/Mobile
BC -296D Handheld

You can find out more about their features on the Wiki.

[FPO703]

No, the PRO-95 is analog, only. The only radios that will work are those that are listed.

 

[Aaron88]

Would a trunking scanner work?

 

[Colin9690]

Would a trunking scanner work?

No. You need a DIGITAL trunking scanner, see the list above.

 

[Aaron88]

I entered the MARCS frequencies in my scanner anyway to see what would happen and I got something like this http://www.radioreference.com/digital/dig/edacs-norm.wav and I also read that you will get that if the areas using PROVOICE. Is Ohio using PROVOICE? Did I just get that sound because my scanner is analog? I am thinking about buying a
RS Pro- 96. I read that no scanner can monitor PROVOICE.

 

[radioscan]

No, MARCS is not Provoice. You are hearing Motorola data NOT EDACS.

You need to go here and read up on how Trunking works.
Ohio MARCS is a Motorola system. I believe the only Provoice system in
Ohio is the City of Springfield.

Thanks, I am still new at scanning and the PROVOICE had me worried there for a moment.

We're here to help!

So the Pro95 does not, but the Pro96 does. So will the Pro97 even though it's not on the list and it's not a digital scanner?

 

[radioscan]

Receive MARCS? NO, it will not!
Only those scanners listed in in reply#9
will receive State of Ohio MARCS.

MARCS is currently an analog system utilizing digital voice,
only a digital capable scanner will receive it. You could program
it into a Pro-97 and watch the talkgroups pop up, but you will not
hear any of the transmissions.

I was kidding, I'm assuming (?) he was when he asked about other scanners after seeing the complete list ;>
