EMT Ambulance (Emergency Medical Transport)
The use Nextels most of the time but have a presence on various business repeaters in Eastern Ohio and also have some MARCS radios and operate on TG 64608 for the Belmont / WV areas because Nextel coverage is often poor in that area. Stark Co area 463.500 / 468.500 repeater – 186.2 PL ( WPID690 – Staley Comm) Harrison Co area 464.400 / 469.400 repeater – 532 DPL ( WPLW99 – Domer Comm) Post 4: Perrysville When they are at a post, they are covering two stations. Carroll Co area 453.6125 / 458.6125 repeater – 032 DPL ( WPXB519 ) Belmont Co / Ohio Co WV and Marshall Co WV area possibly on TG 64608 – of the Ohio MARCS trunked system (per Mylan) I believe EMT currently has some MARCS equipment loaned to them for testing, which is why EMT is showing up on TG 64608 (a DAS talkgroup). In hearing their testing, I’d think EMT will find the MARCS system to be very reliable for them. However, I’m not sure they would want to switch their whole fleet over to MARCS. I imagine they pay a lot less a month (and already have the radio equipment) for the various 400 Mhz business repeaters that they currently use. If EMT stays with MARCS to provide coverage for the Belmont Co area, you’ll likely find them on a dedicated talkgroup in the future. (updated April 27, 2010) CantonRep.com staff report The state Office of Information Technology is on the verge of constructing a communications tower in the Alliance area that will serve public safety agencies plus help bring Internet services to Columbiana County’s Knox Township. The tower will be built on the Knox Township Hall property at 2895 Knox School Rd. The tower will be operated by Multi-Agency Radio Communication System, a state radio and data network providing wireless communication services to subscribers throughout Ohio.

I caught the incident on the scanner in progress, so I’m unsure how long it has been going on. Irondale, Stratton, Bergholz, Salineville and possibly other Jefferson Co agencies are assisting. In Columbiana I’ve heard West Point, Fox Township, Salineville, Wellsville, Highlandtown and possibly others. Jefferson Co units are on the Jeff Co 911 trunked system, and Columbiana Co radio traffic is on 151.22 (Highlandtown VFD repeater). 4:21 PM – Highlandtown reports fire contained, handling hot spots. Indicated rough terrain and large area affected. unknown agency – believed to be in Mahoning Co / Youngstown area 158.1975 PL 94.8 – narrowband repeater (unknown input, not FCC licensed) Heard them talk about YPD going on a call to Brandywine Plaza. They reference themselves as “2″, “4″, “7″. Heard them once say “they’re coming towards you.” Unsure what agency. Sounds like surveillance of some sort. Sterling Fire District [licensed under Milton Township] – (Sterling, OH / Wayne Co) 151.2875 – mobile/fireground license for 6 radios @ 50 w – unknown PL/DPL ( WQLP884 ) If you are in the vicinity, listen for activity. Please report any findings of activity / PL or DPL updates via the contact form on this site, in the Ohio forum on RadioReference as well as submit the information to the RadioReference database here [click Submit on the lefthand side once you are on that page]. 463.250 PL 162.2 IDing as “KF8YF repeater, PL 162.2″ I think this guy is a tech at a radio shop over in Hancock Co. That doesn’t explain why he’s got a repeater IDing with a ham call on a business frequency. Good grief. This transmitter is so strong from my location that it can be heard without an antenna on the handheld and is full scale even with the attenuator turned on. A new licensed was issued by the FCC for Ohio MARCS. This license covers the existing Middle Point,OH (Van Wert Co) site as well as the new site in Florida/Holgate, OH (Henry Co). Callsign: WQLP294 Site: Middle Point, OH (Van Wert)
Site: Florida / Holgate, OH (Henry)
If you happen to monitoring the Florida/Holgate site and discover it to be online, please obtain the zone, system ID, any control channels, site alias, etc. and submit this information to RadioReference. 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.
