KSICS Anchor Thread

[KAA951]

Had a big chase starting at Parsons yesterday (thursday) around noon I listened to on the feed. Went north into Neosho country. All started over a burnt out tail light (story in paper). So, every cop in town heads north out of town. Probably 80 mph on their way out of town (in the 30mph zone)- gassing their big S.U.V.'s for all they're worth-..... not far from my house they flew right past.

So, they take everyones life in their hands to get this desperado with a burnt out tail light. I think they get a little carried away myself. I'm sure they were scoping him out for some sort of drug activity and were just using the tail light theory as an excuse to pull him over. They do that all the time.

I heard them say a few times that "he's going over a hundred mph" They chase this guy out to southwest of Galesburg, he runs his car thru some water on a low water bridge and drowns it out. He bails out and runs off into the brush. Finally, after I got tired of listening they caught him.

I heard the overly excited Parsons officers and the desk a few times, heard the HiPo discussing it among themselves and with Chanute about where they should go to help. Heard LBSO (I think) a few times. For me it's hard to tell who is who. Used to be on VHF everyone had a distinct voice, but everyone sounds the same on digital. It does something to the transmission.

Since I don't have a scanner screen to look at while this is going on, I couldn't tell if everyone was on the same talkgroup, like a mutual aid, or if they didn't bother doing that and everyone came over and talked on the Parsons talkgroup.

Really? This isn't the "I can do the job better than those stupid cops who take lives into their hands" page- this is a radio scanning forum about the Kansas State radio system. If you want to express your opinions outside of that topic, take it elsewhere.

hey Joe i know that KHP 650 is the helicopter out of Salina and that K 22 the capt of this area was in command from what i heard on the KHP channel on thursday

Just FYI- HP650 is the KHP's Bell 406 helo that is based out of Billard Airport in Topeka.

Well said.

MERS on KSICS?

Has anyone heard MERS, the KC area Metropolitan Emergency Radio Service on KSICS? They use 154.13 normally but I have not heard them for several days. They simulcast on the KC, MO digital system and perhaps on JoCo. If they've gone completely digital, they should have a TG on KSICS.

The MERS frequency 154.13 equipment has been narowbanded and can be patched to any KCMO talk group as needed by KCMO. The weather updates may or may not be patched to MERS or as needed by KCMO.

Maybe I'm just not understanding , (Senior Moment) ,
Narrowbanded to what frequency ? ? ?

Narrosband does not mean a changed frequency. It just means it was changed from 25KHz spacing (FM) to 12.5 spacing (NFM). The frequnecy does not change.

dgruver911 is correct. In this particular case, there is no change in frequency. Just spacing. KC Metro MERS remains on 154.130.

 

[CWR]

Just spacing. KC Metro MERS remains on 154.130.

So , another question. IF 154.13 MHz is Narrowband , then wouldn't the actual frequency be 154.1375 ? ? ?

I heard Pleasant Hill give the 1 PM hazardous weather outlook on MARRS talk group 33017.

Nothing on 154.13 however.

No. The frequency remains the same. As said before only the bandwidth changes from 25 KHz to 12.5 Khz.

Thanks. That's the first post that actually answers my question. If they're off vhf then they're either down for repairs or they should also turn up on KSICS. Otherwise they won't be able to serve most users on the Kansas side.

has anyone in Southeast Kansas been heard 2513 TG not sure who it is ?

Probably something in Cherokee county.

 

[KCoax]

One of the KSICS towers has a MARRS JACO Freq. So if one was in the KC area with out a GPS or ZIP code setting they will pick-up the KCMO side in search mode. FYI many of the TGIDs are the same as KSICS.

The north COW is RF live in Manhattan for stampede this weekend, radio techs are on ICS 6 working on patching freqs together and lining up antennae.

Douglas County had all law enforcement up on KSICS early this morning, due to a failure of their analog trunking system. They were only able to transmit on TG 1318.

They were coming in crystal clear and nearly distortion free here in north central Johnson County.

Their problem with the analog trunking system was fixed after about an hour and everyone switched back to it.

Other than only having transmit capability on one TG, KSICS seemed to work well for them, from my end at least. I did not hear any talk of distortion or difficulty transmitting.

Does anyone know when Douglas County is expected to switch to the planned KSICS based simulcast for the county? The last time I was in Lawrence, it appeared that work was still yet to begin.
