MARCS-IP ("New MARCS") Site and Talkgroup Discussion

[fpo701]

Hearing traffic on 22073 now. Radio IDs are 3290xxx (Hancock County). FD traffic.

Now the fun part, this is off the Nimisila tower (southern Summit). I love listening to traffic that from other parts of the state!

Hearing Madison County Fire dispatch today on 31003 and testing on 31008 that included Washington Twp (Dublin). Accoring to COIRS.org, Madison Co, Union Co and Pleasant Valley Fire are all moving to the new MARCS IP soon.

Union County has already started the migration with MPD and the SO, others to follow shortly. Pleasant Valley is about to switch, due to the fact that they cover part of Union County. Jefferson Twp will probably switch soon due to their proximity to Franklin County. Unknown about the rest of Madison County, but with Clark County, Fayette County and Champaign County all creeping that direction, I wouldn't be surprised to see western Madison County switch to MARCS-IP before long if they can scrape up the money.

Hearing traffic on 63532 from the Columbus site. Not sure what it is yet but will keep listening. My guess is it is a TG for OSU.

I believe it is the Campus Area Bus Service (CABS) charter channel, T-3

 

[au1344]

That sounds right, it did sound like bus traffic.

Union County Fire Departments will make the switch at 1000am on March 2, 2015 to MARCS 7.x

Also picking up 61252 on Franklin County Simulcast. Just some talk about cars and units on West Broad Street, last communication I heard ended with a 10-4.

 

[W8RMH]

Franklin Co S/C and Discovery I have heard activity in the 61250 - 61254 range, 61252 IDing as East, sounds like school bus/transportation, maybe Franklin Co. Board of Developmental Disabilities, haven't narrowed it down yet. They have 3 channels on the old analog system, east, west, and service.

Also heard some chat on 61106 maybe Franklin County Engineer, talk about salting roads.

I just heard the same co-op off of the Germano (Harrison Co) tower.

[n8wel]

That should be South Central Power- Harrison for that area.

That should be South Central Power- Harrison for that area.

I added it as SCP BELMONT. They were/are on the old MARCS system and obviously are in hte process of migrating to the new. GIven that Ibagli heard traffic on this talkgroup from his location and I heard traffic on it from the Germano tower, there is no guarantee that it is SCP Belmont, or SCP in Harrison, or SCP Lancaster, etc. Only more monitoring will tell. At least we have it labeled as SCP for now. If its not Belmont service area, that ccan always be changed.

Keep following that train of thought. . .

This mid-size American city lies in SW Franklin County. . .

Hmm, Grove City maybe.

[au1344]

I find it odd that 61252 would be buses for Developmental Disabilities since I heard it around 10 or 11 last night and that it ID's as east since there was talk about W Broad Street. But it is always possible.

 

[W8RMH]

Jackson Pleasant Fire Dispatch testing with hi/low alert tones on 61083 and 61116.

61106 I checked the streets it is Grove City Roads Dept, will submit.
