[maddogdecker]

I maybe coming to Van Wert soon. I was wondering if they are using the state wide radio's or using there own stuff? I checked the database but I didn't see anything on Van Wert. At least not for the state system.

No. Van Wert local is not. Only OSP Post 81 and whatever other state agencies are in Van Wert.

Yes. What you see on the county page in the database is it. Van Wert is not a very big place.

There aren't many agencies (other than state agencies) that are using MARCS for their operations. Everyone is using their own systems in this part of the state.

You should be able to hear medical helicopters (at least off the Lima site) on LF-DISP 18896 and some occasional Lifeflight chit-chat on LIFEFLT 18976. If there is severe weather in the area, there may be some limited intercounty EMA comms on EMA-CONW 3536. Van Wert EMA will provide weather updates on the Ohio EMA freq. 155.805.

WHAT??
Your memory is wrong.

The only EDACS system in Van Wert County is American Electric Power.
That has nothing to do with the public safety local agencies.
