In my attempt to bring things together in one place I have done some searching on the MARCS System And came up with the following below. For now i will provide just a little wording from the Ohio Government web site and some links to a couple PDFs. There will be a link to the web site itself so that you can read everything in its entirety and see all the links available. I will also be posting a link to Radio Reference dealing with much of the frequencies and talkgroups information. More should be updated as we go along

MARCS FACTS

MARCS (Multi-Agency Radio Communication System) is an 800 MHz radio and data network that utilizes state-of-the-art trunked technology to provide statewide interoperability in digital clarity to its subscribers throughout Ohio and a 10 mile radius outside of Ohio. The MARCS system provides statewide, secure, reliable public service wireless communication for public safety and first responders.

The MARCS development contract required 97.5% mobile voice and data in street coverage. 99.71% aggregate voice coverage was realized and 98.13% aggregate data coverage was achieved. This allows maximum statewide interoperability and enhanced safety and protection for public safety service providers through secure digital transmissions.

These links below will open up in a new window.
