CADIZ – Local law enforcement have another level of communication with upgraded systems for interoperability.
An estimated $43,000 grant from the Ohio Emergency Management Agency has helped equip cruisers with portable radios to stay in touch during emergencies. Sheriff Joe Myers said Ohio Multi-Agency Radio Communications Systems (MARCS) and Allied Information Solutions were on hand for the four-day project, which updated a total of 74 vehicles and portable units.
If you are in the vicinity, listen for activity on both the repeater output and the input. Please report any findings of activity / PL or DPL updates via the contact form on this site. TNX

If you live near enough to the above sites, or if you travel in that area, you may want to be on the lookout for activity/progress with the buildout of this.
Been monitoring for the past week. Heard them checking trails and slopes, specifically Voyager, Avalanche, Cobra and Blizzard. Today heard them using a snowmobile to bring somebody off of Blizzard who had a tailbone injury.

Notice that these are all old paging / RCC mobile phone frequencies and are likely paired up.
If you live in Columbiana, Jefferson, Belmont or Monroe Co in Ohio or in Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall or Wetzel Co in WV, you might want to listen for non-paging activity on the following frequencies:
WHEELING – The halls of Warwood School will soon be safer as Wheeling Police and school officials have teamed to purchase 28 radios to be used by teachers and staff.
The radios will replace the existing method of communication, which Warwood School Principal Andy Garber said was actually three separate systems.
The cost for this application is $19.99 per the ScannerLive website. Don’t be cheap. Plunk down your shekels and enjoy! (Keep in mind that there are very few developers of applications of interest to us in the scanner monitoring hobby. Developers must be supported if you wish for them to provide these great apps.)
As mentioned before, ScannerLive is a Windows application that allows you to listen to multiple audio feeds simultaneously, with the ability to mute, prioritize, and adjust the “squelch” of individual feeds.
ScannerLive allows you to listen to any IceCast/ShoutCast feed. It also allows you to add feeds from RadioReference just by selecting the feeds from pull-down menus.
You have 10 banks of up to 10 feeds each. You can switch back and forth between banks.
I don’t have time to provide a review. If somebody else does first, I’ll link to it. It is a great application though. It is so convenient to have all of the feeds you want to listen to available within one application, instead of having to open up a half dozen or more browser windows.
Hearing Toronto street department plowing Trenton, Loretta, Market, Titanium Way and a few others. Weak from my location and appears to be simplex.
Based upon some info I’ve been given in the past, various radios in Toronto are programmed with various different simplex frequencies to allow communications off of the trunked system – such as for working special events, fire TAC, etc.
At any rate, I have no clue if this is an often-used frequency that i just came across, or if it’s just being used now by plows.
