Northern Kentucky Regional Communications System (NKYRCS)

The FCC application for the Lawrenceburg site was returned today, I don't see any reasons given. If I had to take a guess I would say it was because they AGAIN failed to send RPC approval documents with the application.

What's the application number?

Edit: Apologies, Just saw it in a post at the top of the thread.

Here is the reason given for the returned application.

"Your application is being returned to provide the necessary intercategory showing as needed under rule 90.621(e) and approval by a business coordinator to use business frequencies 855.2625 MHz, 855.61250 MHz, 856.78750 MHz, 857.36250 MHz, 857.91250 MHz and 858.91250 MHz. You must resubmit this request for authorization through your frequency coordinator if you are requesting the licensing of a new station, modifying an existing licensed station, or if you are making any change to information previously coordinated. See Rule Sections 90.135 and 90.175."

Thank you Remington12G for the info on Talkgroups. Have you heard anything on Boone and Campbell counties?

 

[Remington12G]

I have not

 

[MikeSmith0096]

I have not

Ok thank you for the info

 

[MikeSmith0096]

Ok thank you for the info

Sounds like they could be going online soon

 

[Remington12G]

Sure thing, again this is info from a ham monitoring in the area but he doesn't post on the forums.

We are still being given, and I think this is an optimistic timeline, July 1 for going live. No FD's around me in Kenton Co have the new radios yet, and I'm not aware of anyone capable of using the system yet. Are they patching the legacy system through to these talk groups?

Lots of activity on 30055 this morning. It is obviously Kenton Co fire units.

What was the radio traffic? Testing, responding to calls?

just radio tests, driving around the area and such

I also heard Kenton Co PD units doing checks on 30000

I know that there are a couple Dept’s in Boone Co. That have the radios installed and waiting on programming.

I was told that Covington and Erlanger have and are using theirs . Been hearing a lot of testing on the new radios on the current system.

I’ve been hearing a lot of testing on Kenton Co. Not sure about those 2 Dept’s but I’ve heard Independence on the system.

 

[MikeSmith0096]

I have two buddies one with Covington and one with Erlanger and they told me they have the radios just waiting to go online. They have been testing their radios to see if it matches their ID’# and testing the panic buttons

 

[MikeSmith0096]

Any word when they could go online with the new system??

 

[scannerboy02]

I am looking for any radio templates that anyone would be willing to share with me. If you are not able to post them to the forum please feel free to send them to me directly.

As of right now I have 228 talkgroups that I have seen active on the system. I have tentatively identified 61 of them and I have confirmed 11. I am looking for radio templates that I may be able to compare with the talkgroups that I have seen active to possibly identify more of them.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

 

[scannerboy02]

This is what I have been able to gather so far. Still a work in progress and I can not say that this is 100% correct yet.

From what I've heard hopefully this summer. Possibly July.
