About
The Ohio Multi-Agency Radio Communications System (MARCS) is a Motorola Type II SmartZone/Omnilink system with 100% digital audio.
Most state agencies use this system to some extent, with agencies like the Highway Patrol, Department of Natural Resources, Emergency Management and other emergency services using the system almost exclusively.
Various local agencies also use the system; please check the database for a complete listing of talkgroups.

Unconfirmed Sites
System Zones
At one point the zone map below may have been accurate, but in recent areas there has been quite a bit of movement of sites out of one zone and into another. This map is not 100% accurate but is the best we have available.
