This is something that's always kept me wondering. Which Troops I can pick up from NW OKC. I've also heard Troop G from where I live, primarily OHP BalyPik1 on 44176. So thanks for the info. Guess I'll program Troop M in and see what happens.

Depends on who's in town. If you hear Troop M units on the OKC site it's because a Troop M unit is close enough to the OKC site to affiliate. I'm sure OHP units have state-wide roaming capabilities, but that's probably not true of all agencies (i.e., it's probably the case that Norman Sanitation units cannot roam to Tulsa).
Very true. I knew that! So far I've picked up Troop A, Turner, Bailey and G on a regular basis and an occasional F, usually through the Norman or Lexington tower. For some reason, I never get to hear B except when I'm in Tulsa so I guess they don't travel to OKC much.
I can verify Troop M is on OKWIN using mostly Baker Peak. They have been online for about a month. Now if we could only get Troop H on there... I can hear Lawton OHP better than I hear Clinton and I'm only 22 miles away from them.
I hear Troopers from Troop B going to OKC almost weekly, not sure why they don't wake up the OKC site with traffic.
Probably because they either turn their radio off or switch to the Troop they are in. If I am in Lincoln County I know to switch to AR-1 if I am in the OKC metro I switch to AM-1 or in I am on the Turner I switch to Turner-1. Just a thought.
the troop m units are not using OKWIN as a primary. it only covers east of altus. low band is still the primary mode of communications. only a few of the troopers down here have 800 mhz radios.
