I'm on my phone and can't look at it. Sorry. Very little traffic from CPD though.


I concur on the very little traffic. I wonder if they are bouncing around between MARCS and the EDACS as part of the testing phase. Making sure that everyone can still talk to each other. I’ll put the TG’s back in my scanner for the EDACS and see what I hear tonight.

Circleville switched to MARCS full-time in March 2017. I heard a couple one-sided comms during last night's fire along with some encryption type noise on my G4 (which doesn't mute encryption like scanners do).

There were reports last year in the thread below that they intended to use encryption.

I’m not getting the “busy signal” that I get with encrypted signals on 39510. I’m not sure that’s what’s going on.

Talkgroup 39534 had traffic of "CES to Buses, are they all in?" so it's something relating to the schools, but I don't know what it is...

Anyone think that each of the three schools has their own talkgroup?

I was in Circleville again today and heard CPD quite often with no issues.

I'm hearing CPD Dispatch on the Circleville tower but not the County tower; the unknown encrypted talkgroups that seem to be CPD based on radio IDs hop back and forth a lot.

Guessing the Circleville tower works a bit better in the city than the County tower.

Everything else is showing up on the County tower just fine, though.

The county tower is the one at Pickaway County Sportsmen, right? I would imagine that it would have decent coverage inside the city...

So looking at the database this morning, I noticed that there are new frequencies for the 1-036 and 1-009 sites. Neither one appears to have changed according to the data I have in my scanner.

I guess my question is: Where did the new data come from?

Follow up: Are the remaining frequencies for the EDACS going to be migrated over to the County site (1-070) once all the users have migrated? According to this thread, the SO goes today, whose left on the EDACS at that point?

I had just updated / added the Site NAC for some sites, based upon a submission that had been made. It's not relevant to you unless you own an SDS-100 and you restrict site activity based upon the Site NAC.
