Ingham County EDACS

"its supposed to be on the system according to Lansing 911"

I'm curious what that means... The list posted is the entire list in the database (at least as of a month ago.) I suppose they could have added something new, I'd guess if anything they were playing with the MPSCS patches?

I am assuming there is an exercise in the Holt area tonight theres a lot of traffic on Fire Tac 1(04-082), with talk of decontamination and white powders?

yeah Chad it sounded like an excersize, although at first it sounded real. After a while the cheif said "I have another scenario for us to do".

And Rob, after sitting in the Eaton Co. 911 meeting they did in fact mention that there would be a talkgroup for Capital City Airport "admin" (not sure what channel that would be) and I believe it would be a temporary patch. I would assume they were experimenting with the patches.
Also i found out that Ingham Medical now has their MED talkgroup patched into their consoles at the ER and should be running.

Is anyone using trunker software to decode Ingham EDACS? I have found a few unidentified talkgroups (not in RR Database anyway) using UniTrunker. I will post them when I have time to compile a list.

 

[scannerman5000]

if they begin with an 05, its usually a patch, unless it's 05-001 (Mason Fire Tac) and 05-002 (Williamston Fire Tac)

...and those 05-'s bounce around a lot based on what talkgroups are being patched, so are of little value (the conversation is always heard on the 'original' talkgroup except for apparently some GRE/RS scanners.)

They did announce that med units could use Ingham Medical on the EDACS system yesterday.
