Hello, I am looking for information on two DMR systems; Shepler's and Cloverland Electric Co-op. I am wondering if anyone who's been up there or lives up there has tracked either of these systems utilizing a DMR-capable radio with the ability to track IDs & UIDs. I am making a wiki on both right...

I'm struggling to find Allegan's DPW & Water Dept. channels. I can't tell if they're on the MPSCS system or a conventional channel. The DPW & Water Dept. trucks' antenna looks to be either a Quarter wave 800mhz, or a 5/8th wave UHF. I've looked on the fcc license database and still couldn't find...

Hello. Hopefully this is the right place for this. So, basically, I am a radio nerd in Michigan and want to listen to MPSCS. I understand that MPSCS is fully P25 phase II capable, but all talkgroups are phase I in every county except Oakland. Making this thread I'm assuming they'll stay phase I...

Sorry for making another post on here, I have another question again. 1. If 13406 is labeled for school busses, what school, or district even uses it? Does this TG even belong to Allegan or has it been misplaced in the wrong county? I have never once heard this TG active ever since loading it...

Not sure why. But there’s been a hot mic situation on this scanner channel. Also, not sure if through channel, porn playing or the provider and his SO, but sounded like someone doing the deed around 1am 11/16/23. Hope this gets resolved. Still happening as of 4am 11/16/23 and it’s the same...

Does anybody know of any snowplow services in the county that I could listen to? This is just a follow-up to my last question.

Does MGU or their parent company (WEC Energy Group) have any frequencies or talkgroups on a trunking system? I want to be able to hear them considering we are their customer.

Just starting the thread to post all of your talkgroups that you listen to that have recently gone encrypted. These should be used to update the database. Starting off: STATE POLICE - SOUTHWEST REGION C.I.D. TGID: 3053 (District - 5 Statewide C.I.D.) STATUS: Strapped? ALLEGAN COUNTY (03) LAW...

I’m hearing several reports of shots fired at MSU at the moment with multiple 911 calls coming in. Communications are being received over at East Lansing/MSU PD Dispatch (MPSCS TGID 139) Active Situation is ongoing. Shooter is using a Handgun. Sources: Active shooter reported at Michigan State...

This is probably very easy but how would I program these frequencies- is it a conventional system? Also, would it be analog or digital?

My old SPORTCAT and TRUNK TRACKER not of a lot of use these days. I hear the newer Scanners May get me back into more scanning. Looking at the UNIDEN BCD436HP and have compared it to the SDS100. I live in the U P of Michigan now, Chippewa County city of Sault Ste. Marie. Looks like a lot to...

Hello y’all, I am originally from Maryland but will be going up to St. Joseph County, MI for a few weeks. From what I understand, the county sheriff and the municipal PD’s are on another system, but I would want to program the nearest State Police post (which would be MSP Post 54- District 5)...

I created a Discord for Scanner Enthusiasts to connect and post incidents throughout the state: https://discord.gg/5BBtk77 Feel free to give suggestions and to Join.

Greetings everyone. :) I'm in preproduction on an educational video teaching how to use an SDR with DSD+ to build a simple rig and listen to trunked emergency services data on P25 systems. Could someone please advise me on the legality of teaching this and posting it to the internet? I'm...

I'm not so sure if this is for the software radio section or for here so I apologize if I didn't post it in the right spot. Recently got into the world of scanning with RTL-SDR's after looking at commercial scanners and the price that they want for them. From the searching on the Michigan...

Ive got a Unication G4 and I was wondering if there was a channel for Detroit that had state, county and city law enforcement traffic all together? Ive tried to monitor the Detroit City Wide channel but rarely get any action coming through. Maybe I didn't program it in correct? I currently...

I've spent hours looking through the forums and wiki and haven't found my answer, so forgive me if this has already been answered and I just haven't found it. I'm from Mississippi, but I'm spending a lot of time in Michigan lately (6 times last year!) and may be moving there. When looking...

I'm sure this is a simple issue to resolve but I am SOOOO frustrated. I want to scan only the TGs that I have programmed into the system. No matter what I do, I seem to get any traffic on the system. I am trying to scan a few VHF conventional frequencies and a couple of dozen MPSCS sites and...

Hello folks! I am (somewhat) of a newbie. Let me explain; I was, at one time, a licensed amateur radio operator (General License) my call was KC8TBY. Although my ham license has lagged I am getting back into the radio hobby slowly. I am looking into police/fire/EMS scanning at this point in...

Hello, Trying to program Liv. Co into my scanner. Its a pro96 and im using Win96. I programmed the Northville tower and input all the Talkgroups I want to here but im not getting anything. I also have local talkgroups programmed such as Northville township and Plymouth township and can hear...
