Hancock County seeking bids for a new system

Those are the license numbers
Those are microwave licenses, and I would be surprised if the MW license for ELO is ever used. When SIRN was looking for/planning on a site in East Liverpool at 1256 Francis St, that license was obtained. I wouldn't be surprised if they have abandoned that since they aren't going to use SIRN.

I will attempt to clear up any remaining confusion, if there is any. SIRN is a statewide system for interoperability and state agencies, such as the state police. Local counties may or may not use SIRN as one of their primary radio systems. This thread is about a county that has chosen not to use SIRN. SIRN can put up a transmitter in the area to serve other purposes, but that's not related to Hancock County's own system.
Is it going to be daylight savings time for Hancock or will they choose to go to the dark side?
Only time will tell.
Only time will tell.
Dispatch won't be dark because they are going to be interconnected to Brooke county. Private and tac might be dark.
Not sure how that will be possible when they are running two separate systems
They told Brooke county they would have a way to communicate with each other
. They are on a totally different system that has nothing to do with whether or not, they will go encrypted.
I just know they won't encrypted dispatch

I am not so sure Brooke County will have communication with Hancock County. That requires Brooke County to have a whole different radio system in Dispatch, and a whole different line of radios. I would almost guarantee that unless Hancock hands out a few radios, Brooke County will not have Communication. What should happen, and this may be a requirement on SIRN but Hancock should have to have the statewide 911 Talkgroup in there consoles so they are interop with Mutual aid. Also a fun fact, Lauttamus charges a monthly usage fee to be on there radio system, where as SIRN does not.
Are you talking about the Lauttamus DMR Con+/T3 stuff? Sure they charge money. But I'd guess whatever is being built out for Hancock Co is county-owned with Lauttamus maintaining it.
I would hope that Hancock County would not be paying a monthly fee. I can see paying a monthly fee for the DMR Con+/T3 s system.

I am thinking of the Connect Plus my apologies, However what is the DMR details there doing?
Nobody knows, outside of the RFP -- which said something about (I think) a 5- or 6-site simulcast VHF DMR system.
With capabilities of P25 and encryption.
I don't remember all the specs in the RFP -- but I would not be surprised if it is 100% conventional (non-trunked) 5-6 sites, with however many frequencies they mentioned in the RFP -- simulcast. So I wouldn't necessarily be looking for a control channel, and I wouldnt necessarily be looking for new FCC licenses since conceivably they might be using 154.800, 155.64, 154.445, and the various Weirton VHF fire freqs.
I'm lazy, or else I'd probably program every currently in-use VHF repeater freq from Hancock Co police/fire/ems into a separate bank as Digital with Search on (not a specific color code, nac or anything else). Just in case some other existing analog frequency is being tested digital -- like the Weir Fire freq had been in the past.

weirton fire was testing switching from slot 2 to slot 1 and back for 10 minutes this evening.
