At about 1:20pm today (Monday), Delaware County Central Dispatch told all units to switch to 800MHz for testing.
As far as I can tell, all county agencies are now on this system. This includes the city of Delaware public safety, the county sheriff's office, local police departments (including Powell), and all county fire operations. Central dispatch simulcasts on 154.190 for station alerting, and since nobody has figured out a way around it, I would assume that it will continue indefinately. It seems as though all fire departments that are dispatched through the county have their own talkgroup for fire runs, and there are countywide EMS channels used for EMS runs (both for the county medics and township medics).
All talkgroups so far seem to be in the 10xxx range.
So far:
10002 - Sheriff
10003 - Sheriff
10004 - Sheriff
10011 - Some jail
10018 - Delaware city PD
10023 - Delaware City PD Admin
10025 - Powell PD
10026 -
10039 - County Fire Dispatch
10044 - EMS 1
10057 - Delaware city FD
10060 - Delaware City Fire/EMS - Tac 2
10070 - BST&G Fireground
10082 - Grady Memorial Hospital ER
10089 - Orange Fireground
10107 - Radio technicians
