TGID 54655. Didn't hear it, but logged it off the Cleveland (Beachwood) site.

TG 14044

I’m hearing some traffic on TG 14044 today. I’m fairly sure by the addresses I heard that it is a Solon PD channel. Not sure how I would tag it at this time.

Westcomm

Westlake, Rocky River, Fairview and North Olmsted fire and EMS have been using the new system heavily over the past couple days. All off of the Elyria tower.

Wonder when North Ridgeville will turn up as they are part of Westcomm.

TGID 54655. Didn't hear it, but logged it off the Cleveland (Beachwood) site.

Hearing it on Lake County 800 mhz freqs (presumably at least Wickliffe tower) too.

I have monitored TG 49500 on the Canton site several times today and yesterday. I have yet to hear a full conversation so I cannot even begin to guess who it is. I do not see this in the list of talkgroups in the database so it may be local.

Likewise today. TGID 49500. Wasn't able to tell who/what it might be. Off Beachwood site.

Well since you heard it off the Beachwood site that blows my theory that it may have been Canton Twp. Fire Department since I heard someone call for "301" along with rumors that they are going to MARCS or Stark County.

 

[SCPD]

Well it could have somebody up in the Cleveland area affiliating with these sites.

 

[SCPD]

TGID 13587 was heard mentioning LifeFlight. Then Lifeligfht was heard on their 155.385 MHz freq. Related? Donno.

 

[a388sig2]

If it was LifeFlight talking to Canton Two Fire, it could easily have been off the Beachwood tower.

Ever bring your radio in a plane? You hear traffic all over the state off various towers. It's very easy for any of the MLF aircraft, ground transport or even base radios to associate with the Beachwood tower at that point.

 

[SCPD]

TGID 13587 isn't in the DB but is in the number group for Fire/EMS/hospitals etc. I later heard "...on 800."
Just reporting a possible new TG.
~~~
Oh, a388sig2 you may be talking about the other un-IDed TG 49500....

 

[SCPD]

Un-IDed TGID 19633 off the Geauga system. Very garbled. Unable to tell who or what.

 

[Swipesy]

Un-IDed TGID 19633 off the Geauga system. Very garbled. Unable to tell who or what.

There are a few new radios in the hands of some key individuals on several fire departments who are doing random testing between themselves in preperation for the the new live date of the end of March. Since only a few of the Geauga towers have been activated you are probably hearing that chatter but garbled because of the lack of active towers.

New Geauga P-25 System

I was listening to the New digital System Yesterday for Geauga County and Talk Group ID # 19541 showed up a few times and heard them calling Ledgemont Base. Sounds like Ledgemont Schools. Didn't see it in the data base yet so thought I would post.

TG 27525

Willoughby PD (unit ID 4335082) briefly heard on unknown Lake County TG 27525. What I heard gave no clue about the TG's purpose.

Heard again this evening with what sounded like special ops tailing a car south on I-271 into Warrensville Heights. Unit ID was 4335xxx, so presumably Willoughby PD unit again. Dunno what this TG is.

 

[LZ56]

TG 27637

Apparent Perry PD unit (UID 4322xxx) saying that this was channel 1A. But DB says TG 27639 is Perry Village PD 1A and TG 27669 is Perry City PD 1A. So I don't know what this is.

TG54712

Monitored two short radio tests on TG54712 around 11:05 am. The traffic was "Radio check on Fire Interop channel from Radio 1". The traffic was repeated and a response was received.

Unfortunately my scanner didn't display a radio id for either radio.

castalia

I heard Bay Village squad while I was in the Castalia Ohio area. Not sure if it came off a tower in Castalia or it could have come off Berlin Heights tower. I only had 3 bars and if it was in Castalia tower I should have had more bars.

 

[ffskett]

Any updated information on the Marion County MARCS IP ?
Wondering if that's where the MCSO ended up.......can't find them anywhere else.
