MARCS-IP Warren County

[wolverine]

I'm scanning MARCS-IP Warren county on my new RadioShack Pro 651, and it's nice to finally be able to listen to a digital P25 system, without having to move the scanner around because it's garbling up. But scanning a wildcard, I'm only getting hits on the state prison talkgroups, and none of the local police talkgroups such as Warren county sheriff office talkgroups. Did the local Warren county law enforcement switch to this system?

Yes, everyone is there. In the link below scroll down to Warren County:

Thanks for the reply. I have the following frequencies programmed, but I'm only receiving the prison talkgroups. I wonder why I'm not receiving the law enforcement talkgroups.

769.75625 770.70625 773.53125 773.88125 774.73125

You are monitoring the State System not the Warren County System. That is why you are only hearing state agencies.

You should program these:

858.23750a 858.76250a 859.23750a 859.76250c

Warren County is a Tier 4 system.

Tier 4 - Sharing Core Resources

County which builds, maintains and manages their own tower sites and subscribers but shares the appropriate MARCS zone controller. County can determine which talkgroups and agencies may roam to their tower sites.

Update: I programmed the frequencies into my scanner, but I'm unable to listen to system from my location as it doesn't receive well and most of the time, I don't receive anything other than a talkgroup coming up, and it sounds like a unit keying up their radio, and then dekeying.

I cheked the frequecies in the system and they are correct. I wonder if it's a setting since I can receive the other MARCS-IP Warren county site and receive state prison traffic, loud and clear.

I selected P25 Auto if that helps.

You are probably having simulcast distortion issues off of that site. I have noticed some when in that area.

You can try using "Attenuation" or keep your Squelch wide open.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I currently have the other site frequencies programmed since those talkgroups I receive best.

Warren County talkgroups will only come up on the 800 simulcast site not the 700 state site even though they share the same tower at ODOT District 8 HQ.
