JES & Sons TRS

[INDY72]

As far as I can tell, JES & Sons no longer has ANY system licenses at all any more. All have expired and/or been terminated. Their website no longer offers any actual networks for use. I am going to do a scanner run on the old listings to see if there is any LTR or NXDN activity at all on the air. I have a feeling they gave up on the SMR side of the business and now solely focus on radio/radio system sales/rental/services. Looks like they are the big Tait guys for the area, but also do still do the other brands.

Only TG I ever see is 0-01-134

I search this system at least once a week (along with all the other Central IN TRS that I can receive) and have never heard any other users.

LCN's still correct? And which sites can you get? Last time I tried to log anything on any of the sites other than the one Indy one, I never got any hits on for like a month so gave up, not even an LTR Data Burst. Now that all the licenses have been cancelled or terminated, I have a feeling this one user won't be around much longer.

Seems odd that a big Tait dealer would run a NXDN SMR.

You know what I don't know.
I have the Johnson and Marion County sites in my scanner. Never paid attention to which one it occurs on. I have it locked out so I haven't seen it pop-up in a long time.

They bought Cardinal Wireless (which does have an NXDN and LTR system in the DB) on June 1, 2026. The Cardinal Wireless folks apparently retired.
