Ohio Members county list

A couple of suggestions for monitoring Summit County:

1. Make sure you're monitoring the Summit County tower only; it's possible your scanner is staying on the Stark County tower.
2. Make sure all of the desired service tags (Law Dispatch, Fire Dispatch, etc) are enabled.

I recommend setting up a separate favorite list for each county you want to monitor (one for Summit County, another for Stark County, etc). This way you can easily turn on/off any county you don't wish to listen to.

There is a dedicated thread for Summit County where you should be able to get detailed assistance from other folks who live in the area and may have had the same issues you're having.

Thanks for the reply

Well I removed Clark as I wasn't hearing anything LOL. I had that in a different Fav. So I'm back to still not hearing Springfield Township in the MARCS system the rest of Summit county is using.

The City of Springfield is the Clark County seat. There are 11 Springfield Townships in Ohio.

Hi Ohio Folks.

This is a call-for-help. AEP (American Electric Power) is building out a new P25 system to replace their existing EDACS system. P25 sites are coming online all over Ohio. In the end, this system will cover parts of 7-8 states.

If you have the means to scope out 850-860 mhz and have the ability to run DSDPlus (or Unitrunker), please consider visiting the following forum and jumping in to help see if any sites in your area are online. NOTE: AEP doesn't cover all of Ohio, so this post is not relevant to 100% of Ohioans.

American Electric Power (AEP) P25 WACN 92715

All, I've seen recent news reports that AEP may be migrating to a P25 system. And today, I’m picking up a P25 control channel on 857.8125 which is licensed to AEP at a variety of sites. WACN 92715, Sys ID 1FA. The oddball WACN definitely points at Harris, and I know AEP has had a long-term...

If you have a Gmail account, you can access the following Google Map that is regularly updated. You'll have to request access. The map is not open-access because Google charges for excessive views, and I don't feel like paying. So I restrict the map.

See the Google Map for all AEP 800 mhz trunked licenses. (requires you to have a Gmail account and request access)

See the RadioReference Wiki to see a list of sites confirmed online vs sites likely online (but not confirmed).

IF there is anyone in the Reno / East Marietta Ohio area or Waverly / Willow Island WV area with a P25 scanner, or DSDPlus, or Unitrunker, please check into the AEP P25 thread here -- American Electric Power P25 WACN 92715 -- if you are willing to help gather some information about AEP P25 Site 73.73 ( control channel 854.7875 ).

Thanks

If you live in one of the following counties and either have a P25 scanner (or even better, use DSDplus or Unitrunker) and are willing/able to do some local sleuthing to see if some new P25 sites are online in your area, I am looking for some help in identifying some new American Electric Power P25 sites (or looking for updates to AEP P25 sites already known to be online) in these areas.

If you live in one of these areas and are willing and able to help out, please check-in on the following thread:

Hey all,


Jackson County, Ohio

Monitor the most from Jackson, Vinton, Gallia, Ross, Pike, Athens, and Hocking counties and also lots of civil and military aircraft.

Did you find the aircraft frequencies by scanning, or is there a list somewhere? I'm just getting back into scanning after being out for years. I just got a SDS100. I'm in Athens County.

LORAIN COUNTY: Five of the county's fire departments are considering upgrades to their collaborative radio communication systems, the Morning Journal reports. The plan would include the fire departments in Avon, Avon Lake, Sheffield, Sheffield Lake and North Ridgeville. Upgrading the hardware would cost an estimated $776,000. The action would improve communication between the departments with a new two-repeater system, with one located in Avon and the other in Avon Lake. The departments are seeking a $1 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to replace all of the radios for each community.

Even though they talk in such simplistic termas as "a new two-repeater system", I'm betting it is more elaborate than that.

Newly granted FCC license for the City of Avon. 700 Mhz P25 trunked, Phase II emissions. Looks like a two-site simulcast. https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applMain.jsp?applID=11967957 770.30625 773.98125 774.45625 774.70625 Mike

Franklin/Licking County border here (New Albany). Browsing the forum tonight, you've all made me upgrade my BCD536HP to an SDS200. Thanks a lot.

I normally monitor MARCS or the cab companies downtown on 452.x. They're hilarious.

In Tuscarawas county and heard some OSP dispatch and Ops on 465.525 with my PRO-135 this morning which is weird because I haven't gotten any OSP with this radio before.

THis is not the right thread for this, but I'll respond. If you require further dialog about it, please open anohter thread or, better yet, post in the MARCS thread.

Billy I live in Virginia and I am 82 years old. When i was 11 or 12 years old I starting listening to the Cincinnati Police every night just above the broadcast band on my dads AM radio. It was an RCA with shortwave bands I had an antenna run to a pine tree in our back yard. I rode my bicycle to a local gas station a mile away to get a free Ohio map so I could follow the calls I heard. That was my first introduction to listening to police calls from there i went to Capitol Radio Engineering Institute after high school then into the air force as a radar tech for 4 years then to Motorola working on police fire and federal govt systems and am retired now what a wonderful life all from listening to Cincinnati PD which introduced me into the world of 2 way radios. I worked on GE radios part time while in the Air Force first at a time when they were trying to catch up with Motorola motracs and they were so bad like the TPL(we called them toilet paper line) and Voice commander portables they should have stayed with their tube progress lines till they had time to design great solid state equipment. Working on GE equipment first made me an excellent Motorola technician. In 1958 I got a CB license 4W0693 and in 1969 my first ham license Wb4igu.

Hi, first post. Don't know diddley squat.... studying for Technician exam still. Delaware county. Grabbed a few uv-5r's off Amazon last year before I even knew what they were.... oops!
New next door neighbor is a HAM and gave me his old ARRL license manual, so I'm working through it. It's from 2006 though. Glad to be here, excited to learn!
