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.

Just logged it today on the Murray St site.
I had downloaded that site from Radioreference so whatever LCNs it has is what I was using.
