Need help

[chewey800]

I am following radio traffic on a MVA In Pickaway county OH. Command is marking Medflight on National 8 tac 4. What is this and is it analog or digital and can i follow it on mybc246t. If so where can i find what i need to program it.

Chewey,

Chances are what you are looking to listen to is on MARCS: Ohio MARCS - Multi-Agency Radio Communications Trunking System, Statewide, Multi-State - Scanner Frequencies

Medflight's operations is on the states digital MARCS system, Which is an astro-25 digital system. As long as your scanner is a digital one you should be in the clear to listen to medflight, OSP and all the other goodies that are on Marcs. The link I provided above should take you straight to the main marcs page.

I believe 8 TAC 4 is 868.0125 (simplex, not trunked).

I suspect what you are hearing is a Interop channel or Mutual Aid. However, you never identified the frequency or talk group. This might help isolate the frequency and/or channel.

Most states have a "common shared" list of frequencies for interoperability. But, I cannot find the one for Ohio.

If you have this statewide system loaded, you might find it here:

Ohio MARCS - Multi-Agency Radio Communications Trunking System, Statewide, Multi-State - Scanner Frequencies

It's probably 868.0125. It's going to be or has been rebanded to 853.0125, though, so you might also want to check that in the future. There's a table on the wiki that shows the frequencies in question.

That is correct and that is where you find them, also in Ohio it is referred to as AIRMED 2.

As agencies reband, the new frequency will be 853.0125 and is called 8 TAC 94.
You can find these frequencies listed in the nationwide section and the wiki.

Correct; they were using ITAC4. I monitored from work...
