I could use a little help. (again
I am in Gahanna Ohio.When MECC dispatch recently made the move from the old system to the new MARCS-IP system I managed to successfully program the new Site, groups into my scanner (Uniden 396XT) and it was working fine.
Sometime in the last two or three days I have stopped receiving them and for the life of me I cannot figure out why. I didn't make any changes to the scanner.
I've attached what I hope are the relevant screenshots here and on IMGUR @ MECC Fire - Album on Imgur
Summary. MECC on MARCS-IP was working, suddenly stopped. No changes made on my end.
Right now I'm listening to them on au1334's audio feed so I know they're still live.
I genuinely appreciate the help I get here from those far more knowledgeable than myself. I feel like a dope when I can't figure this stuff out. Scanning has gotten very complicated. Of course I'm old enough I remember going to Radio Shack for crystals when I wanted to listen to a new frequency soooo....
Thanks again
Doug
Everything looks to be good in your programming. Just make sure you are using the Columbus MARCS site for Gahanna PD and the Columbus City site for MECC.
Normally 57XXX talkgroups are on the Columbus City site (1-10)
61XXX Talkgroups are on Franklin County sites (1-61, 1-62, 1-63, and 1-64)
Everything else is on the Columbus MARCS site (1-16)
Of course some talkgroups have the ability to roam to other sites like hearing CPD dispatch on the County sites at times.
@ au1344
Once again I thank you for your time.
I had in fact programmed the Franklin County Site only and not the Columbus site. I was extra confused because in the first days after the switch I was getting MECC on the Franklin County site and then it just stopped.
I still don't fully understand everything you said (or how you know the difference) between the site numbers i.e... 1-10, 1-63, 1-16 etc but, your advice was enough to get me on the right track and I now get MECC again.
It is truly kind of you to share your expertise with the less learned. I appreciate it.

it's a new month.
anyone switching over to MARCS-IP this Month we should be watching out for?

54859 is in use at the gates for the Van Wert Co. Fair. In contact with each other and the Sheriff's trailer (AKA Fairgrounds Control). Deputies on the fairgrounds are still using VHF VWCO TAC freq.
I am going to add 12 new radios to the system. Does that help?

That'll definitely be a sheriff talkgroup. Since we know what it was being used for today and since we know SO Dispatch already exists, I'm going to add that as a Sheriff tac talkgroup.

Otway site
Took a trip down US23 today running Pro96Com and was finally able to pin down the Otway site as site 68 in zone 3. Database has been updated.
I think that was the last one. . .

Here's an interesting twist. I've been getting PD traffic on 49518. RadioIDs are 85xxxxx, which makes it Wayne County. I finally caught an address off 600 N Vine, which is Orville.
Orville shares a frequency with Dalton and Marshallville. Not sure yet if everyone is on this talkgroup. Anyone closer to Wayne county able to give a listen?

No idea. But given there is already a Dalton talkgroup (unknown if it's FD or PD), it may be something else. For those in Wayne Co [or near it], it shouldn't be rocket science to program in a wildcard / run in ID Search mode. There are plenty of active talkgroups in Wayne Co, such as:
49500 X85DALTON
49509
49512
49514
49515
49516
49518

I occasionally hear Columbus Fire dispatch calls "respond on 9 Extrication" which is a TG not yet in the DB, if anyone should discover it.
Working on finding that one now. Heard it for the first time last night.
CFD TG 57021 sounded like they were testing equip or rescue mayday scenario yesterday...I suppose that could be a extrication training ...the conversation went something like this ...firefighter with breathing apparatus describes situation ...response was we have the mayday ladder will lay a line .
9 Freeway is still in use regularly. They changed some things around with how Freeway runs are handled.

Some unknown TGs from the Elyria site in Lorain county
These I have saved while driving around listening to a Pro-197, so I was unable to catch any conversation tidbits, unit numbers, or what kind of communications were being transmitted:
13654
42004
52874
53046
53500
54122
54132
59699
Has anyone else caught these, or knows what agencies these are.

I had that going on on 57024 also.. I flagged it is a training TG, I've got it high priority now, as well as 57021 so I can take a listen.
