[ScanIndiana] Johnson County Frequencies

[indiana_scanner_freak]

They will have to tone them out on VHF, then units can respond via 800.

Bartholomew county has came up with the money for all the county firemen
to have a digital radio. The newspaper said it would be after the first
of 2007. Will they be able to tone them out on the same equipment or
will they have to still tone them on the old 150.00 freq?

In regards to the digital side of things I do see MECA going digital.
If you go into you Radio Shack they will try to talk you in to buying a
digital scanner. I know that most of your counties will not be able to
afford to do this.  If you live in a metro area then I could see buying
one if not I feel that it would be a waste of money.

As the other reply stated, go to RadioReference.com for the system info
you
request.  You will need to become acquainted with the SAFE-T network if
you
want to keep track of Johnson County, because that's where their Fire
and
EMS resides.  Follow this link
http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&sid=933 and scroll
down to
"Johnson County Talkgroups".  Go to
http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&sid=322 for the MECA
system.

Bear in mind that both of these systems are Motorola trunked radio
systems,
and the SAFE-T system also has digital talkgroups on it, as well as
analog.
What this means is you will need to program in the system frequencies
and
then the talkgroup numbers that you are interested in.  If you have been
away from scanning for a while, or are new to it, there is a bit of a
learning curve necessary.  There is some good reference material
available
on the RadioReference site to get you started.

Regarding a good desktop scanner, you will want to get a scanner that is
capable of monitoring a digital system, since you want to monitor
SAFE-T,
and also since the MECA system will be undergoing a major
renovation/expansion in the next couple of years, going to a digital
system.
With that said, both Uniden and Radio Shack/GRE make nice portable and
desktop digital scanners.  Uniden's is the BCD996T, and Radio Shack's is
the
PRO-2096.  Again, if you have been away, or are new to scanning, be
prepared
for sticker shock.  Both of these units are in the $500 + range.

Have fun, and good luck.  If you have further questions, this is a good
place to get them answered.

I am new to scanning.  I work in EMS and want to setup my scanner to
catch
all EMS and Fire in Johnson county and also MECA.  Does anyone have some
frequencies to share for those areas?  Also what is the SAFE-T network?
Can
anyone recommend a good desktop scanner? Thanks!!!
