NOTE:  This system has been replaced by a P25 Phase II multistate system.   You can find the new system here:

American Electric Power (AEP) P25

Below is the legacy information specific to the old (but still partially active) EDACS system:

The American Electric Power system is a wide-area 800 MHz EDACS trunked system which covers most of Ohio, as well as parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Virginia. Units on one end of the system can talk to units on the other end of the system using common talkgroups or via "I-Call" (Individual Call, known as Private Call in a Motorola system).

The system is divided into seven networks (each comprised of at least 10 sites) based upon the network switch locations. These networks are:

Network 1 - Fort Wayne, IN (covers Indiana & a small part of southern Michigan) - converted to Opensky in February 2013
Network 2 - Columbus, OH (covers Central, NW and E/SE Ohio)
Network 3 - Canton, OH (covers E/NE Ohio and Wheeling, WV)
Network 4 - Charleston, WV (covers Central and W/SW West Virginia)
Network 5 - Roanoke, VA (covers western Virginia, a tiny part of Tennessee, and southern West Virginia)
Network 6 - Chillicothe, OH (covers Southern, SW and parts of SE Ohio)
Network 7 - Ashland, KY (covers eastern Kentucky)

All seven network switches are in turn interconnected; thus, making system-wide communications possible.

In this listing, the sites are numbered by network; for example, 201 (Adario) means Network 2, site number 1. Sites numbered x50-x99 are those with unconfirmed site IDs and LCN order. Sites numbered 900-999 have an undetermined network affiliation.
