Lake McConaughy

What frequencies do the Park Rangers at Lake McConaughy use?

They've been on VHF hi for years, but I suspect that they now reside somewhere on N-WIN. Here's a link to the datbase for the VHF frequencies.

Game and Parks Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

As for where on N-WIN they might be, logically they could be using the Keith county towers (site 1-136), but what talk groups they might be on is anybody's guess. If they are on N-WIN then you are going to need a digital scanner to listen to them.

This link has the towers and known talkgroups for N-WIN.

Don't think Game and Parks are using the N-WIN system yet. If they are their talkgroups poss in the range of 3071-3091.

Is there any updates about the frequencies for the Park Rangers at Lake McConaughy?

Over this last holiday there was some traffic on N-WIN from game law, most of it was on the old system but heard some using talk group 50021 on the Ogallala tower!

Was there yesterday, and it seems like most of the traffic is still on 151.475 analog simplex. Didn't get a chance to listen to the NWIN system much, but it didn't seem like there was much activity on it.

I didn't see any of the radios in use there, so I'm not sure how many are even trunked/digital capable.

Nebraska doesn't have Park Rangers, per se. The Conservation Officers do law enforcement in the parks, in addition to "Game Warden" work. State Parks has maintenance and other staff, but they are not Park Rangers with any authority like many other states have.

And they are not on NWINS, yet.

Any update on Game and Parks at Lake McConaughy?

Law enforcement is on NWINS, maintenance on VHF analog.

 

[mattguzinski]

What talkgroup are they using on NWINS?

 

[IsThisOneTaken]

At Lake McConaughy they would use NGP Southwest talkgroup, and NSP Troop D for dispatch.
