MCALL1: MARCS “Hailing Channel” for our area Will allow a MARCS user to call for help from
anywhere in the state Remember that when going through the
MARCS-SEL patch, you must be in the coverage range of the Montgomery County Radio System
Monitored 24/7 by OSHP Posts, by ODNR’s Central Dispatch, and by sheriff offices within a MARCS zone (see next slide)
When using MCALL, it is preferred the call be directed to the zone the call originates from, but is not required
Greene County is not in the MARCS MCALL1 zone. Greene County OSHP Post does not monitor MCALL1

MCALL1: You or dispatch can use MCALL1 to hail ODNR and request ECOMM TGs
MCOMM1: Generic TG for any user to be able to
talk to any other user. Also monitored by MARCS base locations (OSP, SOs, etc.). Has statewide capability, but preferred use is within the zone.
Use MCOMM1 to “communicate” with the party you were hailing, i.e., a TG for brief, non-emergency (chatter) conversations

Used as tactical (“ops”) channels during emergency incidents
Available to nearly all MARCS users Must request an ECOMM through
ODNR (MCALL1 or phone)Be prepared to give name and phone
number, as well as an estimate of how long ECOMM will be in use (hours, days, week, etc.), and authority for request (IC)
ECOMM7 through ECOMM10: Generic statewide “emergency”
TGs Primary use for MARCS-SEL

Once you have an assigned TG (e.g., an ECOMM), you must have RDC switch the patch radio to that TG
Large “White Powder” incident involving local law enforcement, fire, EMS, FBI, and local public health
Incident Commander (IC) determines need for interoperability TG for all involved agencies
IC has Dispatch, Communications Officer, or other delegate request an ECOMM TG
Dispatch (or other delegate) contacts ODNR, using either MCALL1 or 866-OH-MARCS (866-646-2727)
Dispatch asks for ECOMM to be assigned, but must only accept ECOMM7, 8, 9, 10, 20, or 23 (Since these are the only ECOMMs in
MARCS-SEL)
Dispatch notifies IC of assigned ECOMM TG For our scenario, we will use ECOMM9
as the example
IC has RDC switch MARCS-SEL patch radio to ECOMM9
IC notifies or uses Comm Officer to notify all involved agencies with MARCS radios that ECOMM9 is now being used
IC notifies Montgomery County Fire/EMS personnel to use MARCS-SEL (Zone 10, Position 12)
ECOMM9 used for all appropriate communications relevant to incident Other TGs may also continue to be
used at IC discretion For example, might use a standard
Ops TG for the Haz-Mat entry team, an LE TG for traffic control, the “Health”TG in Zone 2 for EMS and medical communications, etc.
At conclusion of incident or when this level of interoperability is no longer required, IC has Dispatch notify ODNR that ECOMM9 is no longer needed Again, remember that MARCS-SEL is
only usable when in range of the Montgomery County Trunked Radio System
Usable for any appropriate incident or other communications
For incidents, must have ODNR assign an ECOMM
ECOMMs limited to 7-10 and 20 and 23Must have RDC select the appropriate
MARCS TG on the MARCS-SEL Patch Radio
Questions?
Once IC determines interoperable need: Have Dispatch, Comm Officer, or other delegate request an
ECOMM TG from ODNR, using either MCALL1 or 866-OH-MARCS (866-646-2727)
Ask for ECOMM to be assigned, but only accept ECOMM7, 8, 9, 10, 20, or 23 (only ECOMMs in MARCS-SEL)
Once an ECOMM TG has been assigned, have RDC switch MARCS-SEL patch radio to that ECOMM
Notify all involved agencies with MARCS radios of the ECOMM being used
Notify all Montgomery County Fire/EMS Template users to go to MARCS-SEL (Zone 10, Position 12)
Use that ECOMM for all appropriate communications relevant to incident Other TGs may also continue to be used at IC discretion
When the ECOMM is no longer required, notify ODNR
