The HOS talkgroups are used for EMS to Hospital reports, Van Wert Hospital and SRMC and LHM in Allen County use theirs everyday for reports.

I have submitted talkgroup information for Van Wert County (47512) and Van Wert City (47526) fire departments. Currently Van Wert County Fire Dispatch (at the Van Wert Sheriff's Dispatch Center) is transmitting on both the VHF conventional channel and on MARCS. At this time not much utilization...

I haven't heard VWFD use that channel, but I know they are licensed for it. Mike

If I remember correctly, when my feed went into a reward listener count, I was contacted by RR/Broadcastify. Mike

Scanners have on/off switches? Mike
