Severe Weather Sunday-Tuesday May 19-20

2013-05-18T07:40:00.001-05:00

Stay informed of the weather Sunday-Tuesday. Our area will be within a moderate risk of severe weather. SW Missouri may experience this after dark Sunday night so make sure your weather radios are on and programmed correctly.

This will be our best chances for tornadic weather so far this year. This could possibly turn into severe weather breakout for our area.

Main street / Zora Interchange

2013-01-03T13:08:00.003-06:00

I found this write up on the MoDot site. This will hopefully begin to relieve congestion at Stones Corner (N, Main - 171 highway).

The Project
The interchange construction involves several major projects and will take approximately 12 months to complete. Upon completion, the interchange will include:

A bridge along Zora Street, that crosses over Main Street and the railroad tracks west of Main Street.

Exit ramps to connect north and south traffic along Main Street to the newly constructed east/west Zora Street and interchange.

A 3-lane road connecting Zora Street west of Main Street to Jasper County's Lone Elm Road. Traffic going south on Lone Elm will then connect to the intersection of North Schifferdecker Road and Belle Center Road.

More efficient traffic flow moving north/south on Highway 43 with on and off exit ramps to Zora Street. Two traffic signals along Main Street, one at Zora Street and one at Veterans Way, will be removed upon interchange completion.

Completion is scheduled for May 2013. This interchange also serves as a first step in connecting to the West Bypass, proposed to follow portions of County Road 290 (JJ Highway).

Bad news for scanner listeners

2012-07-14T09:08:00.001-05:00

Scanner listeners in and around Jasper County will be hearing less within the next couple of years. In addition to Joplin encrypting police traffic and Webb City migrating to the NXDN protocol, which cannot be monitored by scanners on the market today, Jasper County Sheriff's Dept will also join the digital age along with Carthage PD.
Jasper County will be moving to Mototurbo (DMR) within the next couple of years. As of this post there are no scanners on the market that currently decode this protocol. Carthage PD will join Webb City with Kenwoods Nexedge line of digital radios. As mentioned above these digital radios cannot be monitored by scanner radio's.
So hearing little Johnny get pulled over and arrested for warrants may be coming to an end. Unless the scanner industry includes these two formats in new scanners then things will begin to get very quiet here in Jasper County.

Severe weather threat

2012-04-14T21:19:00.001-05:00

The Scanner feed is currently scanning additional counties in SE Kansas to better inform listeners of impending severe weather. SE Kansas and SW Missouri are skimming on the edge of a "moderate" threat for severe storms and tornados for tonight thru Sunday.

HIGH RISK for Central Kansas and Oklahoma

2012-04-13T15:05:00.001-05:00

High Risk for severe storms and Tornados for central Kansas and central Oklahoma for tomorrow. I would look for the area to shift East through Saturday nite and Sunday for SW Missouri.

Widespread wind and tornado damage

2012-02-28T22:55:00.001-06:00

This line of storms has caused wide spread damage to structures, trees, and power poles throughout Labette, Cherokee, and Crawford counties. Winds in excess of 80mph reported. High winds knocked over 3 trailer houses in Labette County resulting in injuries and trapped occupants. This is the first major storm for the Sw Mo and Se Ks area this year.

Uniden 996xt and 396xt firmware update is released

2012-02-23T19:06:00.000-06:00

Those of you with Uniden 996xt and 396xt scanners you have firmware to update. This update is said to improve P25 decoding.
Here for the 996xt
Here for the 396xt

Local Frequencies I have programmed

2012-02-19T10:25:00.000-06:00

I get questions and requests on what frequencies I scan and use for the area. Here is the setup in my 396. This does not include Joplins trunked system. Other than Lawrence county all or most of these can be monitored with a standard factory antenna and some with a simple stock portable antenna. Printable list here

Uniden BC 396 XT

2012-02-16T17:49:00.001-06:00

I am scanning the local digital frequencies again. I purchased the BC 396XT from Uniden. From my location I can now receive Joplin, the Oklahoma Statewide System, and The Kansas Statewide System. Anxiously waiting for the Missouri Statewide system to make its way here.
