System Notes
This is Howard County's new P25 Phase 2 system, which is on the air and being tested throughout the county. Installation of non-first responder radios is scheduled to begin Monday, January 9, 2017. This is a multi-site system with the primary tower at the county highway garage in Kokomo, and additional towers in New London and Greentown.
As it stands right now, most of the talkgroups on the new system are going to be encrypted, which means you will be unable to monitor them with a scanner. The current frequencies that are used on the analog EDACS system will be reused for the new system.
Talkgroup information for the new system is listed below. This is a limited list and more will be posted when available. Rumor is that only the "primary dispatch" talkgroups are going to be unencrypted, but all channel 2 and incident talkgroups will be encrypted. Several of the county fire departments have opted to have all of their talkgroups encrypted as well.
