I’m trying to listen to the Logan County Sheriffs Depsrtment also but can’t find the frequency. Can you help me out?

I have the Uniden HomePatrol Touchscreen Apco P25 Digital Scanner

If you update the database, it'll be in there and you should pick it up as long as you have it programmed correctly.

Update the database. Set your location by zip code. Set the range (something low like 5 miles is fine, trust me). Make sure law dispatch service type is selected. It should pick it up assuming you're in range of the AWIN sites they are operating off of.

Thank you very much!

You will need a P25 trunking capable scanner if you do not have one already. Newer talkgroup ID so it is probably operating in TDMA unless they have some older radios they are using in FDMA.

From the database:
"Logan Co has ceased using DMR in favor of AWIN"

As of 12/15/2019, new AWIN radio IDs are issued only for qualified P25 Phase 2 (TDMA) radio models only. (Source ADEM) There are still some older P25 Phase 1 FDMA radios in use on the AWIN system, no timeframe has been given when these will be replaced.

Is that the reason for out of sequence TGID's as opposed to new ones continuing the early ranges set for the counties?? Surely someone has lost understanding of the intent of the original TGID assignment scheme. It's become a hodge-podge in the 53xxx range.

You'd think it logical to stick to the original convention just to keep track of the counties with larger number of TGID's.

But, what do I know? I'm just a taxpayer.

I have no idea their reasons for how they now assign talkgroups, I personally think it would have been easier to keep them in some kind of logical order as well. As for all the new talkgroups they are all P25 Phase 2 (TDMA) capable talkgroups, even if they are not currently listed as such in the radioreference database, all old P25 Phase 1 FDMA radios and consoles will eventually be phased out which will improve the overall performance and capacity of the AWIN system.
