Ashtabula County

Can anyone confirm which MARCS system Ashtabula County is currently using? I see they have TGs listed on both the MARCS Type II and 7x/IP systems.

I took a trip up there a few months back.

OSP, County Sheriff, Local PD as well as many Village PD, fire and ems services are on MARCS Type II.

They will however migrate to the new MARCS:IP and that timeframe is unknown.

Thanks! I didn't want to waste time programming my XTS for the wrong system.

Depending on the area you'll be visiting specifically there are 4 MARCS sites in Ashtabula County. Non-simulcast.

For an XTS be sure to program all 4 sites

I can confirm that they have not switched to the MARCS IP yet.

I don't worry about the sites being programmed in on the large systems like MARCS - I just check the "Full Spectrum CC Scan" box and let the radio look for the nearest site...
