heard 155.37 (OSP intercity) being used by Darke Co. to contact Preble Co. Sheriff

Just an FYI.

Saturday I was on the road and caught Darke County sheriff contacting Preble Co sheriff in reference to a car they were on the lookout for.

So, I wanted to make sure everyone knows that this (and LEERN) is still in use in certain parts of ohio.

I caught LEERN being used the beginning of this month in the south canton area. It was in reference to a BOLO for a car where the owner was said to have fired some shots into the air outside an apt. complex before leaving.

Here in Central Ohio when OSP puts a BOLO out or another agency request a BOLO they broadcast it on 155.37. I have it in my car and hear it often.

155.3700 has always been heavily used all along the Indiana/Ohio border. Indiana still makes heavy use of it as well.

 

[dizwiz]

Ok. Yeah this is not used much anymore in my home area near akron anymore.

It used to be used a lot.

 

[KC4RAF]

Yeah, 155.370

is used down here in gator country between surrounding LEOs. I think it's a national thing. (I watch the Ohio forum because I'm a yankee from Marion (many,many years back!))

 

[SCPD]

I can recall the OLD days when VHF was the thing, LOL, everybody used Intercity and LEERN has become something of a relic. Does anyone know if LEERN is used much on MARCS what with all communities on different systems, one wonders how LEERN is being utilized?? Comments!!

From a NE Ohio persepective, LEERN (154.935) is very often used by the Highway Patrol during traffic enforcement via aircraftt. Once in a while an agency will brodacast a "be on the lookout" type alert as well.

I've heard LEERN used in Hamilton County. Dispatches I have heard on it are to alert law enforcement in specific areas to be on the lookout for a vehicle or if there is a holdup alarm at a financial institution. Those broadcasts are prefaced by the dispatcher saying it is being heard on "Signo Select and Ohio LEERN".

 

[radioscan]

Cincinnati and Hamilton County All County Broadcasts (ACB) go out over LEERN 154.9350 and Intercity 155.3700.

 

[CincyKid]

When All-County Broadcasts in Cincinnati & Hamilton County are heard on LEERN (154.935) are they also heard over Intercity (155.370) at the same time? I've monitored the Intercity frequency for a time today and have not heard anything.

 

[mk262]

I don't know if it's relevant but here in Florida there is use of 155.37 as well.

 

[radioscan]

When All-County Broadcasts in Cincinnati & Hamilton County are heard on LEERN (154.935) are they also heard over Intercity (155.370) at the same time? I've monitored the Intercity frequency for a time today and have not heard anything.

Depends on the nature of the broadcast and the dispatcher.
If it is something that could involve a neighboring county/agency
then it also goes out over 155.3700.
