New EDCAS System in Lexington

[Charlie1068]

I recently discovered a new EDCAS system in Lexington and have submitted the information to RR, but the 4 frequencies that are listed are not the only ones as a part of this system. When monitoring for channels some of the conversation is lost.

Is it the Lexington Call Mobile System?

 

[Charlie1068]

Yes

 

[Remington12G]

Yes

I'm currently listening to it and I hear both sides of the conversation. I've already submitted a TG in the DB, it's a transportation company ive been listening to.

 

[Charlie1068]

sounds great I've been having issues probably since I'm in Madison County and the decode health fluctuates a lot

 

[Remington12G]

What Scanner/Radio are you using?

 

[Charlie1068]

ws1040

 

[Remington12G]

Gotcha, I've got a BCD35P2. I was gonna create a thread for the new system but you beat me to the punch

 

[Charlie1068]

To be honest I was shocked when I came across it I first thought it was part of the old deprecated Lexington EDCAS system for some reason

 

[Remington12G]

Yeah, I thought EDACS wasnt used a lot anymore. Here in Scott, they are almost done with the new P25 system which once goes live will be a much-needed upgrade for the county. I know that the old Call Mobile LTR system is expired and should be removed from the county page

 

[Charlie1068]

Yea I heard about that new P25 system it should be a nice one I've been through Scott county a few times and I agree that it is long needed upgrade

 

[Remington12G]

Yeah, I can live with some encryption. Maybe the Law channels will be gone but I can still listen to events and common channels along with public works and other agencies here.

 

[Charlie1068]

Thats how it is here in Madison county all law channels are locked out

 

[Remington12G]

Yeah, I listen to madison every now and then from here. If no action in Lexington ill turn on my scan lists and listen to Louisville and Other areas. I've got my antenna in the perfect spot

 

[Charlie1068]

you can get metro safe in Louisville?

 

[Remington12G]

Yep

 

[Charlie1068]

that is impressive I grew up in Louisville and I love there system mostly because police is still open

 

[Remington12G]

Ive been working on the UK P25 system lately so I haven't had much time for my scan list. Yeah, I get Morehead all the way to the Ohio West Virginia line.

 

[Charlie1068]

Oh your the one adding all the talkgroups to UK that system has exploded the last few months. When I left for home last May it was all just UK PD. When I came back for college in August it became a lot more busy.

Yeah, I was like I have the time and capability, so why not. If you check the wiki you can see all the things I've added and information ive collected because the system seemed neglected.
