Ohio County Nexedge

Am I seeing the database right... Ohio County emergency services gone totally Nexedge?!?

All agencies in Ohio County have gone Nexedge, except for the fire departments, which are supposed to gradually switch over in the future.

Western Kentucky Area:

Madisonville Police Department (Hopkins County) has NEXEDGE portables and repeater running mixed mode.

Muhlenberg and Hopkins County School Bus systems have NEXEDGE repeaters and some mobiles running in mixed mode.

Ohio County Sheriff, EMS are fully operational NEXEDGE digital WITH encryption enabled. EMA has a repeater, but no radios at this time. Nothing said about fire services heading that way, but would say it is possible with rest of county emergency services going that route.

Powderly Police Department (Muhlenberg County) has the radios and repeater, just not going digital as of yet. Getting levels and specifics straightened out.

Anyone have any info relating to the change over to NEXEDGE trunking systems for Todd and Logan Counties? I see the info on the database for the change over, but haven't heard anything else about it in reference to things like change over dates or such.

MPD is not on NEXEDGE portables.

This information came from the dealer/radio tech that sells Kenwood locally in the West Kentucky area. He deals with MPD. I'm gonna opinionate that not all MPD has NEXEDGE portables, hence the running in mixed mode.

sorry to tell you this

I don't know if they are going NXDN or not, but the city police have upgraded there radios so they now can talk to the county police which are NXDN. I'm friends with one of the local dispatchers when I get a chance to see him I'll ask him what he knows. They had a meeting a couple of weeks ago with all city employes about a new radio system but I couldn't really find out what they were told, it kinda of lead me to think they had not done there narrow banding yet that I think is required by sometime in 2012. So as far as retuning your scanner who knows, it's just a gamble.

they got kenwood nxdn radio in so there you go , i seen them

Just FYI, if you purchase a NXDN radio and have the proper programming, you can monitor a conventional system as long as it's not encrypted.

Not a whole lot of people just wanting to listen are going to want to spend the money to get set up for nexedge.

All prices are estimated
Programming cable - $20
Software - $35
Low end nexedge radio - $400

Then you still have to get the frequency and RAN code, and hope the agency you're wanting to listen to doesn't choose to encrypt.

You do not need the RAN to just monitor. Select "none" in KPG111d as the decode RAN.

People are easily spending that amount on the current crop of digital scanners, so if that list is really what it would cost that wouldn't be too bad actually.

Are the frequencies changing too? I figured the freqs would stay the same.

As of 18:00 tonight (August 15) I'm still hearing Lburg EMS loud and clear on some channels, others have the "machine gun" going on.

Stopped at a Kenwood dealer in Frankfort today to inquire about a radio but no one was there. I'm having a hard time finding any pricing online.
