State of Kentucky P25 7/800 Trunked Radio System

[mastr]

Anyone in a true official capacity to this sytem definently knows better than to answer.....

I will correct that slightly if you don't mind- how about "...should know better than to answer".

 

[ofd8001]

I suppose the best answer is "Who can know this for sure?" There is a contract, I'm sure and there must be some agreement as to when the system will be ready for acceptance testing. But then there are probably the basic escape caveats: natural disasters, work stoppage, supply chain issues (the big one these days) and all them other "It ain't our fault, we really tried, but them other characters didn't do their thing".

I'm sure if one contact the right people in state government, back in the old days it would have been the finance and administration cabinet and file an open records request, one could probably view this contract.

 

[BJ2021]

Maybe it’s never coming they might do like Georgia Alabama Mississippi sign a contract with the utility company to use their system did back in the day like they did with southern link iden network

Please tell a story with facts.
Mississippi Wireless Information Network (MSWIN)
In April 2005, the State of Mississippi committed to the building of a statewide interoperable public safety radio system, now known as the Mississippi Wireless Information Network (MSWIN). Section 25-53-171, Mississippi code of 1972, established the Mississippi Wireless Communication Commission (WCC) as the entity responsible for overseeing and maintaining effective public safety emergency communications in the State of Mississippi. MSWIN is currently utilized by almost all state agencies as well as a majority of counties and local agencies, with more and more joining each year.
Alabama Interoperable Radio System (AIRS)
System Notes
This trunked radio system is part of a state wide interoperability initiative officially known as the Alabama Interoperable Radio System (AIRS). It was previously referred to as the the Alabama First Responder Network (ARFN).
When completed, it will be possible for subscribers to communicate from one end of the state to the other on a handheld radio if the need arises.
GA Department of Public Safety (Georgia)
Georgia State Patrol utilizes regional communication centers for dispatching; individual posts are still referenced in some areas of the state.
Georgia State Patrol utilizes Georgia DNR frequencies in some areas.
Georgia State Patrol operates on county and regional trunked systems as noted.
Posts not specifically listed operate on other GSP repeaters in the same troop area.

Well said!

 

[BJ2021]

I meant in the early 2000s and 90s they used IDEN southern linc and some public safety in Georgia is using the electric companies TETRA system

 

[buddrousa]

Please post the information publicly here in the forums so we all know who is who on what system others here that live in the area say different.

 

[kd4bas]

If you can publicly post the info for post 2 here, please do so, if not email them to me at me at my callsign at gmail dot com.
I'm just north of post 2 Webster County and they broadcast one of their UHF channels back into post 2 area from my area in Union County post 16

 

[Thunderbolt]

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, KSP Communications Division, has sent to the FCC numerous construction completion, and on the air notices as of 06/23/22 for tower sites in the Post 1 and Post 2 areas. Start listening and logging.

Here is a PDF I made that shows each of the "built" sites.

If no one gets to it before me, I plan to drive the sites this weekend.

 

[scannerboy02]

Took a drive out to the Sacramento and Tucker Ridge sites today and no signal was received for this system.

 

[buddrousa]

I saw none at Paducah or Farmington either.

You'd think that with 1 control channel frequency and 5 voice channels on a trunked system, they must be figuring on more than KSP as users of the system.

I believe the plan, as with most statewide trunking systems, is to have most state agencies on it as well as local agencies wishing to join.

This location is at a place named "Fire Tower Hill" One of the highest sites in the county with an old state fire tower
used for the state radio system. If I interpreted the FCC codes listed on RR right they have been granted the following:

P25 Phase I C4FM data.
P25 Phase II fixed-end 2-slot TDMA
P25 Linear Simulcast Modulation ASTRO

Aren't we in screwed if they go astro, we can't monitor it with our current technology, can we, or am I missing something?
Currently using a Uniden BCD436HP, I might not be using all of its capabilities.
To enter these in my scanner to monitor, just set as P25 with everything else open to see when something pops?

Your scanner will do just fine monitoring the system once it is up and online, It's single site only at this time so no need to worry about simulcast distortion.

I was thinking more on the lines of cities and counties. CVE and F&W don't transmit all that much and I've never ever heard what might be an AG or ABC unit.

FWIW, decades ago, back in my state fire marshal days, I had a KSP radio in my state car. I bet I made less than ten transmissions on it. That was when I was behind an impaired driver or watched a roll-over happen.
