Lexington - KSP

[kg4pbd]

I'll be in Lexington (actually Wilmore) next week. I see that there are frequencies under Post 7 and Post 12 that are both listed as Fayette County (Lexington). If I'm just south of Lexington which post should I monitor?

Also any hints or suggestions for monitoring the KSP freqs with a BCD396 would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

I had this question once before and didn't get a clear answer, If I was south of lexington I would use the freqs for the Richmond post 7, and add the two freqs for post 12 that are listed in Fayette if I wanted to hear KSP Lexington activities.

BTW, KE4ZNR and unitcharlie are very knowledgeable guys for that area of the State and would be able to help a lot if they are online the next day or two.

Hey Scott,
Darren has the right idea...for where you are going to be you want to program in the following:

460.300Mhz= KSP Richmond/Madison County "Channel B" Dispatch
460.025Mhz= KSP Richmond/Madison County "Channel A" Alternate Unit to Unit
if you really want to hear the Lexington/Fayette County KSP action you can program in:
460.250Mhz= KSP Lexington/Fayette County "Channel B" Dispatch
460.200Mhz= KSP Lexington/Fayette County "Channel A" Alternate Unit to Unit
Program these frequencies in Conventional APCO 25 Mode and you should be set...and I am sure Unitcharlie will jump in here too with some helpful tips!
Have a safe trip and happy holidays!

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I'm looking forward to the trip for alot of reasons not to mention I've only limited APCO 25 experience with the scanner. There is just one system here that uses it and it's limited to the I calls. Everything else is analog. So I'm looking forward to trying it out with the KSP.

One additional question, do either of you know how the signal strength from the Fayette county site is in Wilmore? I'll be down Harrodsburg Rd about 10 miles (I think) from the county line in Jessamine county and all I'll have is a RS 800mhz duck on the radio.

Thanks again.

Scott,
You will be fine...Just make sure to print out a copy of the RR.com database listing for KSP and carry it with ya...if you have trouble picking up the frequencies above just program some of the other frequencies listed for Post 7 into your rig...the KSP system pretty much blankets Kentucky so you shouldn't have trouble
Happy Holidays to you & yours and have a safe trip!
