62123 is PHI Air Medical.

The other two fall in the range of other Lowndes County talkgroups. I'm betting 44329 is a Lowndes SO talkgroup. 44374 falls closer to the Lowndes county fire talkgroup range, but that doesn't mean it can't be something else.

Given that Columbus PD ran voice inversion scrambling on analog, I would expect them to run encryption on MSWIN.

So you are hearing no activity on either MSWIN site in Lowndes County, or you can't hear the control channels at all? There should be enough MSWIN users in the area to have a decent amount of activity.

The Columbus site is just north of the city, so it should cover pretty well. If anything, coverage might not be the best on the south or west end of town. The Crawford site probably doesn't cover the city well at all. It's too far south.

MSU is on the Oktibbeha County system, which is a Harris P25 upgrade of the original EDACS system that MSU and Oktibbeha County built out. Being a County owned system, they were able to build the system to provide more in-building coverage in their specific area. They have two sites just outside of Starkville that provide great coverage in town.
One small correction, MSU owns the P25 Harris system. They let Oktibbeha Co and Starkville on it but MSU owns and operates it.
