Beaver Co Sheriff – Administrative
153.965 / xxx.xxxx repeater – 162.2 PL ( KVP672 )
- unknown use – but not primary use, probably administrative
- heard CWID for KVP672
- IS a repeater output
Heard “Sheriff’s Office to 116″ about five times and got no answer. Then SO called 121 and she answered. Then 122 called in and SO was advising her of some administrative tasks he took care of for her.
This is a repeater output – unknown input. It’s not a patrol freq, but I’m hearing quite a bit of activity on it. Unsure of the 1xx units are SO patrol cars or what.

LISBON — Columbiana County Sheriff Ray Stone will use some of his funding to obtain a $40,000 state grant to purchase equipment that will help his deputies communicate when on a call.
Stone said he will use $13,333 as qualifying matching funds to obtain the $40,000 grant for small radio booster units that will increase the strength of walkie-talkies used by the deputies. The units will go into the trunk of each cruiser.
Last summer, the sheriff’s office purchased the MARCS radio system for $191,154, with county commissioners borrowing the money and making the payments. MARCS — short for Multi-Agency Radio Communication System — was supposed to eliminate the problem of communication blackouts occurring between sheriff’s dispatchers and deputies when in areas of the county where radio reception is poor. “Even with MARCS there are still some weak spots in the system,” Stone said, which is why they applied for the grant to acquire the booster units about the same time they purchased MARCS. The $13,333 in matching funds to qualify for the grant will come from the sheriff’s communication fund.

LISBON – The Columbiana County Commissioners approved a $193,154 lease deal to purchase a new radio system for the Sheriff’s Office which could save costs and increase safety for deputies who rely on the radio as their lifeline in the field.
“Our radio system has been in dire need of replacement for some time,” Sheriff David Smith said Wednesday, adding it was last upgraded in 1973.
He said the system needed immediate attention. Dispatchers have been losing contact with deputies in the field due to dead spots and one of the towers used as a repeater site in the western part of the county where he has an antenna is being dismantled by the owner.
The commissioners approved a lease/purchase agreement with Dollar Leasing of Cleveland to purchase the equipment for the Multi-Agency Radio Communication System known as MARCS. As part of the five-year deal, the county will make an annual payment of $44,771 beginning July 2009 and then purchase the equipment at the end of the contract for $1.
