Sumpter County Ga.

[ke4crc]

My brother has a business in Americus and I was wondering which freq to lessen too.
what confuses me is the dispatch being in another county.

Are they using a TRS system or a Conventional system?

I found 3 TRS for Sumpter County in the FCC database. WRXL 605
YW - Public Safety Pool, Trunked FB8 - Centralized Trunk Relay NXDN


151.0025 151.355 154.055 154.3325 in Americus

151.0175 151.4825 159.2025 159.465 Leslie

151.1075 151.250 159.0975 159.1725 Plains

I didn't see these freq. in the RR database

tnx

That's a new system (for Sumter County, not Sumpter); it's not online, yet. County Commissioners voted for an upgrade.

The Sheriff, County Fire, and the City of Leslie FD/PD are NXDN conventional but encrypted. Americus PD is also encrypted; on 700 MHz conventional.

Come to Americus and you get to only listen to the Americus Fire department on P25, State Patrol on P25, and Goldstar EMS on analog.

thanks for the info.
What system does the GSP use in Americus I've heard them on VHF p25 in Cordele & I thought I heard GSP on the crisp P25 system .

GSP Post-10 (in Troop G) is Americus. Conventional P25 VHF in Americus. In the clear, not streamed.

What you hear in Cordele is a patch into the Crisp County TRS. The Cordele Post is also VHF P25 conventional (out of Troop H).

Americus PD/FD are on four conventional P25 repeaters in the 770MHz range. Each agency has a dispatch and tac channel; the city has 700-CALL-50 and 700-TAC-51 repeaters. APD is encrypted, as mentioned above.

Likely what you found in the FCC database will be a three-site NXDN (4800 baud; very narrow) trunking system. I've only heard one of the frequencies pop-up, but I think it was during VHF skip due to Hurricane Idalia.

[edited to add] Sumter County is part of the consolidated dispatch center out of Ellaville. Not sure how they tie-in on local repeaters, but they are usually referred to as "Central" over the air.
