Any Four Winds Casino info?

[whacker]

Hey all. Was just wondering if anyone in the New Buffalo area has any info on freqs used for the new casino. Other than the Sheriff's Dept.'s use of MPSCS, do the on site tribal cops have special freqs, and are any repeated that could be picked up over Buchanan way? Thanks for anything.

Which frequency is the Pokagon Tribal Police?

 

[jimsokol]

Tribal police are 2300 series units on BCSD talkgroups, and also have their own talkgroup or two. Casino security is not performed by tribal police. I have seen the following recently licensed to Pokagon Tribal Gaming Authority, but haven't had a chance to check them out.

Garry,
You may hear the tribal police on Cass County SD dispatch (same units, 2300's), for units that are in Cass at the time. Other than that, I have only heard them on MPSCS.

Heard some digital sounding activity (buzz) on the 460 freq above. Pro-96 didn't decode it and didn't recognize any control channel. I wonder if this was the new MOTOTRBO digital? Radios appeared to be Motorolas.

Four Winds is definitely using MOTOTRBO. See this Motorola web page, which has a video about Four Winds and MOTOTRBO:

I've also made a note on the MOTOTRBO Wiki page about Four Winds using this format.
