[Scan-DC] major Eastern Shore changes

[Mike Agner]

  Well, with the recent activation of the St Mary's trunk system, and the
recent announcement that Caroline county is getting money together to join
the Talbot/Queen Anne's system, we have a bunch more news, courtesy of the
Maryland board of the Long Island Scanning Resources (LISR):
---------------------
From Chris Larmore 
For anyones information. Some of you locals out there may have noticed you
are no longer hearing 
MSP Salisbury on 39.780. You are now hearing MSP Princess Anne (Somerset
Co) on this Freq. MSP Salisbury can now be heard on 
Wicomico Co's 800 mhz Motorola Trunked system. The system is a 5 freq
analog system heres the freqs: 

857.9875 
858.2375 
858.9875 
859.2375 
860.2375 

You can hear the Wic Shf's, MSP "E", and Wic FD's on any trunk tracker
using these freqs. 
----------------------------- 
I've written Chris back, asking him to verify the migration of MSP
Salisbury from 39 mhz. It would 
seem strange, as most of the barracks that have patched into the local
county's 800 system (Carroll 
and, more recently, Frederick come to mind) kept their old 39 mhz freq. As
soon as I hear something, 
I'll let everyone know. 
============================= 
Worcester County is nearing completion of our new M/A Com 800 MHZ EDACS
trunked radio system. The system is a 10 freq system, and will be
linked with Ocean City's current EDACS system. 
The system will be combined digital and analog, with it mostly being used
in analog mode. There will be many talk groups and the all government
agencies 
in Worcester Co (PD, FD, EMS, Pub Works) will be on the system with
exception of Pocomoke City Pub works and Snow Hill town Pub Works, and MD
SHA. This system will include MSP Berlin. 
I will post the LCN and as many Id's as I can figure out just as soon as we
are online. I am very familiar with the system, as I am on the FD's radio
comitee to assist the Co with the setup 
of the system. 
============================= 
Ken Austin reported: 
Pocomoke City PD has now switched to a Ericsson(EDACS) trunking system. The
frequencies are as follows in logical numbering: 
855.9625, 856.4625, 857.4625, 857.7125, 858.4625, 858.7125, 859.4625,
859.7125, 860.4625, 860.7125.

system....will keep you updated
