So, I'm stupid I'm learning. I live near the Suffield/Mog tower and wanted to update my scanner with PSR Edit but don't see it listed in the transmitter site selection list. Am I doing something wrong? I feel like I should know the answer to this and it annoys me that I can't seem to think this one through.

Mike, you may just have answered my question. LOL. I stare at the new Suffield tower daily driving by.

This is likely not Green FD, as the traffic is related to snow removal. It mentions Marathon Way, which is Green. This is probably Green Public Works.

Saw today STAT Medevac finally has a channel. Anyone know what towers they have been seen on?
They’ve definitely been heard on towers in Belmont Jefferson Harrison Caroll Columbiana. I know that because I live in East Ohio, and I hear them, and because they have a base in Steubenville in Jefferson County.

I wonder if Medevac 14 in Youngstown has been set up with it yet? I know they’ve had radios for a while, I’ve heard them give reports to the Akron area hospital on their XHOS channels before.
Still no Portgage County simulcast ?

Yeah its very frustrating, they need to be active ASAP.
Portage Simulcast getting closer.
FCC filings suggesting at least these four 700 mhz freqs have been added to the sites in the simulcast cell
WSCV291 (Kent, Portage Co - 1125 Risman Dr)
WSCV292 (NEOMED / Rootstown, Portage Co - 4209 SR 44)
WSCV293 (Deerfield, Portage Co - 2634 SR 14)
WSCV294 (Shalersville, Portage Co - 9263 Peck Rd)
WSCV295 (Garrettsville, Portage Co - 10213 SR 88)
WSCV296 (Mogadore, Portage Co - 407 Waterloo Rd)
771.38125
772.38125
772.70625
773.73125
Of course, in the end I'm sure the 6 800 mhz freqs will be too. But I do wonder if, when it does come online, will it be using the 700 mhz freqs as CCs or will it use a combination of 700/800 like I've seen some other simulcasts do.

I thought I read something about the Mahoning system joining in the same manner Summit did. Wonder if there has been any headway on that?
Portage Simulcast appears to be up and running ..

It will be many months.
Local SO - Muskingum Co just stated several sites statewide are down, they are using 8TAC93 852.5125 as a backup.
The email I got this morning from the Ohio MARCS NOC said all tower sites in Zone 3 are experincing a Network Service Link outage. As of 1:42, I've not received an email that it's resolved.
