5-City Radio System Lorain

[homeboyjames]

Hello all,
Ive noticed the city of Lorain has transformed over to the 5 city radio system. I have a Uniden 396xt was just wondering if I was doing something wrong or what. Ive downloaded the files using radio reference and dont get anything. Mean while I can pick Ohio state patrol VIA there trunked system.

Maybe my scanner is a little bit to old.

thanks in advanced for the info guys and gals keep up the good word

That system uses TDMA which the 396XT is not capable of.

You’ll need a scanner capable of receiving Phase 2 systems.

Lorain Police and Lorain Fire are still on there normal VHF freqs...
But both of them are also patched into the 5-City system...
I can hear them on both systems...

Well it does look like Lorain Police did switch over fully to the 5-City System and not using 155.25 anymore...
Did hear the Fire Dept still today on 154.355 though...

Just heard Lorain Fire dept (6:36pm)... They appear to still be patched to the 5-City...
Hear them on both systems...
