Need help with OHIO COUNTY system; WVIRP maybe?

[Mylan]

duhhh i never thought to look there... i was looking all over the program for it...


so tell , can i temporarily unplug my cable from the radio serving this program without messing up this program and loosing my screen or not?

(sounds like an ohio trooper just now had a crash on I-70 at the 207...)

If anyone feels like trying to help me figure something out, go to the archives of my feed...today (4-24) at 1:49 (13:49) some guy came on the radio on TG2927 and called out to ohio county 911...

long story short, he identified who he was and he also identified the name of this talkgroup...

I couldn't understand exactly what he said but someone else may be able to.

He only called out to them once as I locked a radio on to the TG and I heard nothing else afterward.

EDIT:

the transmission is at 25:35 into the clip and i think he said something about Mon county and regional ohio trunk

 

[mule1075]

this is what he said had to play it back a few times. ohio county this is mon county unit 403 on regional ohio trunk.hope that helps.

 

[Mylan]

ok .... yeah same here took a few times....


I wonder what that means.. regional ohio trunk what?... that talkgroup is not even close to anything else confirmed for that system.....as it goes from 2407 to 4105... well I guess time will tell, maybe...

Thanks adam 4 the help

 

[mule1075]

no problem at all glad to help.going to set up another radio in the living room so i can monitor the rest of the day from the recliner.will have the laptop also so if anything new comes up i will be able to post it here.

 

[Mylan]

Mylan here.... yet again with more informacion...


2119 was being used by Bethlehem Fire to coordinate an ems response although I heard no one actually say it by name.... logistically I would say this to be Bethlehem fire because Clearview fire is 2121 which is the next odd #'d TG as well as the next fire dept alphabetically.



Also last night shortly after 8, I heard a man doing testing on TG 9091 soon thereafter on the same talkgroup, I monitored a few seconds of an encrypted transmission (assuming that to be a test also)

 

[Mylan]

2119 is confirmed to be bethlehem fire

additionaly, I heard a wv dot radio tech talking to a co worker this morning on 9311 (district 6)... he claimed he was"just coming into new cumberland".... I would think it to be impossible to cover the low elevation riverfront location of NC from a tower in ohio county so there has to be something going on... these two were chatting up a storm and I also noted that he did state that he noticed that the new site has better coverage than the "old IRP tower above the tunnels"... I dont make much sense of it but oh well, i thought i'd pass it along.

Well, the old site was a single site on Hubbard Lane. Based upon previous listening experience, there is no doubt that it was weaker [up to the North] than the West Lib tower [or even the Highlands tower] of the simulcast system.

If he is down along the river in NC, you're right -- i wouldn't expect him to get coverage off of the Ohio Co towers. However, if he is up on the hill (such as coming into NC from New Manchester or thereabouts), that's a nice high elevation [as high as any up in the northern tip of WV] and they'd get the same coverage that I get over here across the river.

If he was in Weirton just coming into NC, he may even get coverage along the river -- That's all due north of the West Lib tower, which is extremely strong. That's 15m away if your lucky.

BTW, I'm only using my stock antenna on the PRO-197 in the basement, but I did a scan of 450-465 and Weirton definitely isn't online. If it were, I'd get it full scale. So I'm quite sure he was using the Ohio Co Simulcast.

That pretty good.

I was sitting in Weirton on Freedom Way at the old Weir Cove Terminal listening to the Ohio County tower with my 396xt with a mirror mounted antenna on my big truck getting a pretty good signal. Do you think that when the sites up that way come online that you will pick up Ohio County any better in the Weirton area? Or will they be tied together in anyway?

 

[mule1075]

Weird

just heard clearview calling ovmc on tgid 9899 with no answer and then they came up on 9997 calling ovmc and as 9997 being wheeling they answered.clearview came back and said it was a mistake and called for ovmc again on 9899 with no answer again.now here is where it gets a bit weird ovmc comes up and trys to answer clearview on 9997.now are the hospitals capable of answering on different talk groups or maybe a programming problem?

If/when a Weirton tower comes online, you'd still want to have the Ohio Co simulcast site programmed in if you want to here Ohio Co-specific traffic. Weirton and Ohio co would be networked, but you wouldn't hear Ohio Co traffic on the Weirton tower the vast majority of the time unless an Ohio Co agency radio happened to be using a Weirton tower at the time, and then you'd only hear the ohio Co traffic from that particular agency talkgroup.

If/when a Weirton tower comes online, you'd predominantly hear Hancock / Brooke traffic and perhaps traffic from some regional WVIRP talkgroups. Of course I have no idea if Hancock is even planning to get on the WVIRP soon.

I'd sure like to see Hancock Co / Weirton police and fire move to WVIRP though. Get them off of those damned VHF ex-paging transmitters that ruin my VHF listening due to overload.

Incidentally, I guess you answered Mylan's question about whether one could reliably pick up Ohio Co in Weirton area. That's pretty damned good coverage.

[Mylan]

dot techies are doing all kind of testing this morning on all dot channels....

i think they may be preparing to switch district 6 over to IRP.

 

[Mylan]

mtindor... change 2164 from City-County Building custodians to City-County Building Common because I've been noticing that others in the building use it to talk to each other.... it's not just the janitors

 

[wv_mountaineer]

Where is ???

So where is Mozart VFD at? They were listed in the old county system but they haven't turned up yet with in the state system.

The main fire dispatch talkgroup. If an agency doesn't have its own talkgroup, it's on the main talkgroup.

[Mylan]

That is a question I have been pondering myself... I would assume that mozart has their own fire channel but they must not have used it yet... I mean why would they leave out only one department.. I'm thinking that the tg may be 2125... why, because #1, it falls in alphabetical/ numerical order with the rest and also I have seen in pro96com where a couple radios that occasionally affiliate with 2125 had affiliated with bethlehem during a dual response where both companies were organizing a response on 2119.... that is just a hypothisis... I'm sure it will come in time..

Now what I am super curious about is if the departments have lost their "common" channels because before the system transition both clearview and triadelphia used their "common/community" TG extensivly and since the switchover to the statewide system, nada once..... I'm stil trying to keep my ears open for anything new...

 

[Mylan]

I can confirm the following two talkgroups

9801 medcom
9899 OVMC

i can also confirm that neither seem to be operational yet because for weeks now, i have heard multiple ohio county ems squad runs trying to contact this hospital and medcom on these 2 respective channels and there is never any reply


now on the db, 9801 is already listed as:
2649 D 54MED1 EMS 1 EMS-Talk Wood County (54) WestCom


why would ohio county depts be using this if it was a wood co channel?
