OK still using the analog 800... They will still be 800 but P25 as the sites are switched to MSWIN. Kind of wondering what the delay is as both of these were supposed to be done and online on MSWIN already. Keep us informed guys.
(Wondering now just how long it will take the Lee County, DeSoto County, and other ones to get changed over once they begin transitions...:roll

November MWCC Minutes:
Ms. Helfrich provided the MSWIN Project update and noted that the Town of Seminary, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Leflore County, Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office, Prentiss County Sheriff’s Office, Panola County and Columbus Air Force Base Emergency services were added to MSWIN as Permanent Users. Permanent Use MOUs were also sent out to the City of Greenwood, Town of Vidalia, City of Bay Springs, and US Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection. During the month of October, radios were loaned to Greenwood and Leflore County EMA. The staff is working with MEMA to set up a link between the MS and TN statewide P25 systems for the Capstone 14 exercise which is scheduled for June 2014. MSWIN is already connected to LA, AK, and coastal areas of AL.
October:
Ms. Helfrich was asked to provide the MSWIN Project update. Ms. Helfrich noted that when Change Order #10 is finished, 8-10 additional towers will be added to the network to add more coverage in some of our weak coverage areas. During the month of September, radios were loaned to the Crystal Springs Volunteer Fire Department and MOUs executed with Jackson Public Schools, Benton County, Holly Springs Police and Fire Departments, Forest General Hospital, City of Grenada, Lauderdale County and MOUs are being processed for Lincoln and Prentiss Counties. Also this month, the WCC staff has worked with Capitol Police and the State Fire Marshal’s office setting up talkgroups and programming radios for the MS State Fair. Copiah County Emergency Management is putting MSWIN radios in each of their schools and the WCC staff is working with them to make sure that undertaking is successful. The WCC is still working with surrounding states to ensure that we are interoperable and patches are currently in place with LA, AK, and Baldwin County, AL. In addition, WCC continues to work with locals as issues come up and working on any improvements that can be made to the network and providing information to end-users. During the past month we had 1.123 million Push-To-Talks (PTT) and 277 busies, which is below 0.1%.
September:
Ms. Helfrich stated that during the past month WCC Staff has loaned radios to Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office, City of Grenada Police and Fire Departments, MS Band of Choctaws, and Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. Also MOUs have been executed with the City of Cleveland, Town of Puckett, University of Southern Mississippi, Town of Bruce and DeSoto County. We have a permanent MOU with DeSoto County and they are currently using MSWIN as a backup system to their current system.
Guys turn on the ears.... Its gonna get busy.

Central MS MSWIN
OK, Hopefully someone in the area has an MSWIN capable scanner, or running Pro96Com etc, and can grab info... We know Crystal Springs PD, and now FD have MSWIN radios. We know Copiah County EMA is on the MSWIN, and is putting a MSWIN radio in all Copiah County Public Schools. We know Copiah SO is most likely now simulcasting on MSWIN and VHF. I don't know about Hazelhurst PD or FD yet as far as MSWIN. No data yet on Wesson either. It is also a very good bet that Co-Lin will be getting radios in short order so to have full interop with both Copiah, and Lincloln SO's, since now Lincoln SO is also getting radios. I have no data yet on Brookhaven PD, FD, or Lincoln County Fire/EMA . Jackson Public Schools are joining, and Clinton PD and FD are trying to get on board. (This may explain that SOW in Hinds County? Though it could just as well have been City of Jackson doing P25 testing, or even Entergy for all we know so far.) Since this is my old stomping grounds, my curiousity is peaked lol.

Hearing what I'm now pretty sure is MVSU PD testing on R9 SE 3, on the Lucedale tower off and on for a few days now.
Unit IDs - Valley ##
Dispatch position - Valley PD, PD, HQ, Headquarters
Also an occasional "Guard House" ID
The Jones County site is not at the EOC. Only thing done at the Jones EOC location was adding a microwave link to the North Tower where the MSWIN gear was stood up. So name it just Jones County, or Jones North or whatever, EOC is misleading.

It's time to update my MSWIN file. I would like a Radio ID file for the MSWIN system from the TN state line to the La/MS state along I-55. Especially anything new for the area above Jackson to the TN State line.
thanks and happy scanning.

It was so much simpler for them to just upgrade the repeater etc to P25 than to completely change the frequencies etc. They are doing same to Forrest County conversion site, Lee County site etc.... They already have the frequencies licensed so why not use them? They did the same to the Madison site. Its much easier to not have to go through the whole ball of wax with the FCC for a entirely NEW license, when you can basically just modify an existing one.

Ok, so the primary CC is 770.71875?
Can you run Pro96Com on it for a few minutes and post the Tower####.txt log file for it? If you need some help with that feel free to PM me.
I guess 99 was the one that was wrecked and they rebuilt it on a gooseneck trailer?
EDIT:
I suppose this may have something to do with the SOW showing up in Clinton?

Just a heads up......
I think Tallahatchie county has changed over to MSWIN as I cannot hear them on my analog any longer as of earlier this week.
I do not have a digital scanner yet so I cannot help with any further info on the change over. Just thought I would let you guys know so that maybe you could update the DB.

What model scanner are you using?

A very old Uniden BC60XLT. I can't afford a new digital one and every time I get some money saved up to get a new one, something comes along and I have to spend the money on it, like tires, groceries, auto repairs, etc. I've started a "jar" for a new digital scanner so I'll just have to see how it goes....
Have you tried a reprogram, and can you still hear surrounding agencies? Just want to make sure that there is not an issue with the scanner.
Just was told Lincoln SO is on MSWIN.... No TG submitted yet, but was told they have switched and VHF is not being used.... Need confirmation guys... TG's please!
