Security at the Sandusky County Fair will be on the 911 frequecy 453.750 as well as the old state wide frequency 155.370 they alternate from time to time.
A APCO II 25 Digital Capable scanner (Motorola Type II SmartZone Omnilink)is needed to monitor the new MARCS system in Ohio. The Fremont Post Of The Ohio State Highway Patrol has switched to this new system. Although we know the type of system, we still need to find out what frequencies they will be using. If anyone has any information, please email scannerman.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol post in Fremont has switched to their new system within the last couple of months. We do not have these frequencies yet or even know if they can be picked up on a non digital trunking scanner. When we find out more information on the system we will make an extra page and link it to the main web site. When the State Patrol’s new system goes down (it has a few times already) then they will use their old radio’s left in their cars as a backup. The old frequencies are 44.980 for the base and 44.820 for the cars.
The Sandusky County Sheriff's Office is now using a new UHF frequency for dispatching for their EMS and the Fire Departments. The new channel is for setting off the tones for the EMS and fire departments. When the EMS units are enroute they still use their old channel (462.9500) for contacting the base and unit to unit. The tone frequency is 453.7000 and they also use 454.475. The Fire Departments use the tone frequency for unit to unit and unit to base communications. Both 453.7000 and 454.475 broadcast at the same time with the same radio traffic. 454.475 seems to be a stronger signal in the western and central areas of Sandusky County.
