01931 would be county 13's 911 interop channel, so whoever they are, they're on their own channel ;^) From the RID, I'd guess that 00130001 is one of their consoles, perhaps...

If you're seeing it affiliate (which would mean it's prob. hitting that tower directly) as opposed to just keying up (which might be coming from anywhere), then county 13 must be w/in range of that tower. Does that limit it to Morgan and Hampshire Counties?

Every instance so far says "call" and not "logon".

If anyone sees anything from RIDs from 009000-009100, I'd like to know what you hear or see (e.g., any audio you might have heard, and what TGs they used or affiliated with). Thanks.

I got one today rid 9032. When I first heard this from another room I heard a radio check and went to see who was talking the responded person showed up with rid 540911 which I had set with Princeton FD. This guy said just call him on his cell. Shortly on tg 9771 same guy rid 9032 said or sounded like he said Mesha base calling Marion County with no answer.

Interesting... Unless I counted wrong, 9032 would be Monroe County alpha-ba-tetically like. But Marion County and all of the county 911 TGs that that radio affiliated with would be in Region 1, which is the wrong part of the state. Could "Mesha" have been "MECCA" [pronounced meck-uh]? Er maybe I counted wrong...

[BTW, the 95xxx and 97xxx RIDs are all WVSP.]

Dont hold me to court. I only heard what I thought I heard and that is not saying much. I started off in the wrong room with it and I did not get a recording to verify what I heard. I need to plug this unit in a stereo amp so I can hear it when I can find a wife mute button on one.

UT reported around the time I saw tg 931 at work today with rid of 3338
also I cought 2 93xxxx on WVSP channel.
tg 9069 is a private channel for WVSP but enc.
tg 9223 is showing wvsp unit on them but it is also enc.

new tg this week are outside of the 927,931,935,937 are
951
5935
5937
6927
6933
6951
6999
7927
7931
7935
mostly 1 time hitters.

I have a few 54xx with only 1 hits on them as well.
I got a few rids of 61xxxxx off the Ghent tower.

TG 9055 (Enc) is WVSP in Berkeley Co. They must have a few encrypted ones for each area.

Um hi there... I was wondering something but I don't have time to look through 1100 posts to see if it was already covered here but....

Does the state of WV have a particular company contracted to install and service this system throughout the state or does each county use their own?.......
The reason I'm asking is that I am trying to figure out why Ohio County decided to "do their own thing" even though it was reported in all the local media outlets last year that they were going to go to a new modern 400mhz system that would enable them to talk to anybody via radio throughout the state.

Well obviously they chose not to employ the wvirp system contrary to what they reported to us taxpayers. and I know that Ohio County deals exclusivly with Staleys Comms. and therefore I believe that If they were to go with the wvirp, they may have been forced to use the state of WV's contractor and not Staleys...

So what do you think here... Could this be why the Ohio County Commission chose to waste our money on a separate (POS) system that is not compatible with any other user in the state?... here is a couple articles I found.... read where it says:

City of Wheeling police and firefighters currently use an 800-MHz radio system. Ohio County Administrator Greg Stewart noted the 450-MHz system already is being used by several other counties across the state. He hopes other Northern Panhandle counties also will upgrade to the digital system.

“I would like it if down the road — if they need to upgrade their system — they revisit joining the statewide program,” Stewart said of the city of Wheeling.

From what the article(s) read, Ohio County is moving towards the WVIRP P25 UHF trunked system. There is no indication in the article that they are building their own 450Mhz and it doesn't appear they are going onto the City of Wheeling's 800Mhz system. I would assume these towers are for IRP radio sites to cover the County. Not knowing the terrain or geographic issues in the Northern panhandle, I wonder how many sites it would take to cover the panhandle.

The state DHHR installs radio and microwave sites which are Motorola radio sites. Usually counties that contract with local vendors such as Staley's do so to maintain the equipment at the dispatch center, the field radios, or other equipment at the site. The local vendor also has to be a certified service shop certified by Motorola. If Staley's is a Motorola Service Shop, then Ohio County should have the option to use Staley's to maintain the equipment.

If you are in Wheeling, it looks like your police agency is going to stay on 800Mhz and the County agencies are going to be on the IRP in UHF. I guess they will have some sort of patching technique to bring the agencies together when they need to work at an incident. Does Wheeling have their own dispatch center separate from Ohio County?

To add to what I have already written,
Ohio County is already using a NEW 400MHz TRS the id of which is 247 whereas the WVIRP is 170...... the system has been in service for about 2 months now. so everything that the ohio county administrator stated to the press was, as it stands now, incorrect.

On this NEW system there are a couple talkgroups that contradict ones already in use by the IRP so I don't know how it could be compatible...

I know the city of wheeling is not going to abandon their 800 (in fact ohio county should have joined that system and the city pleaded for them to do so)

Ohio county 911 serves both wheeling and ohio county. and the same dispatchers alternate the 3 dispatching slots.
for some reason, even during crisis, they never patch their two channels so neither agency knows what the other is doing or has goin on without a relay from dispatch... ( some sheriffs have a scanner though)


well anyway,
unless this system247 is some kind of temporary thing and the talkgroups change, ohio county is not going to become a member or the state radio system.

While in the area

I was in the Beckley/ Princeton area during thanksgiving and I was able to pick up 2 Tg's that is not listted on this I have no idea what they are I do not remember what was talking on which. But I do think that one might be Mercer Sheriff and the other sounded like it might be out of the Mcdowell county area and it sounded like it might be fire/ ems . Since I only visit the area every few months I thought I wouold post them here so that others might listen for them if anyone is in the area and see if we could ID who is using these Tg's but, they are 5407, and 5507. I also have a Tg 9069 that I picked up in the same area back in the summer but did not hear any traffic on it this time that i remember.

Happy holidays to all and happy scanning

I talk to a Mercer County Officer and he said they did go digital last week or the week before. However both 5407 and 5507 are rarely on the Ghent tower so I'm not able to confirm them. McComma seems to host those 2 but at home it is a hit or miss with it. 9069 is State Police but enc. all the time.

Tg 9126

What I just heard and submitted to be added to the DB. Not sure what they were calling this channel. My PC with UniTrunker was being used for kNACk at the time I heard this traffic so I was not able to get any RIDs.

"TG 9126 - DNR Dist 2

Was used when 2 officers were doing a sting operation with a deer decoy, a deputy approached in a cruiser, they switched to this channel. Traffic was in the clear."


EDIT: RID 93340

OK that sounds correct at the time I was listening the traffic was light. I did hear them out in the bluefield/bramwell area. The best I can recall I was hearing them on the bluefield tower but like I said in the last post I do not remember every detail. I am guessing that the reason for the light traffic is that all officers arent/wasnt on the digtal system yet. I'm guessing they have been patching to analog frequencies during the transition. I know here in Va that is what the localities have been doing during their transition period. I will be back in the area in a couple of weeks and if there has not been any progress in identifing these Tg's I will pay more attention and see if I cant help out with doing so.

Mike, I also cought some noise on tg 8101 this afternoon on the Jefferson Site. It didn't sound like the normal encrypted noise as has been heard before but I guess that is open to change.

yeah, it didn't sound "normal" but I was in the middle of phone calls to get the house and cars fixed from a tree falling so I didn't pay too much attention.
