Storm tracker

Does anyone know if the region 8 storm tracker con be picked upon the scanner. And if so, what is the frequency or ID number?

From my understanding (source), they use a trunked radio system used by the station. Best I can tell, it is likely a leased NexEDGE system that covers that portion of the state. Beyond that I don't know...

Brian, do you know if they are using the analog at all? My understanding was it was the digital (NXDN) only now (for them).

If they are they they're on their own system because the paragould system I quoted is analog only, However if it's their own system I didn't find any license for them in the FCC Database, however I did find that Radio Communications has a trunk system in Jonesboro and it's licensed for NXDN so there's a possibility too. I don't know for sure but I'll see what I can find out.
