Hi there! I have been doing a lot of research, trying to understand, on how to exactly get the most of my Uniden SDS 200. It has certainly been an experience as this is all a foreign language to me. Not to bore, but, after my fathers passing I picked it us as I have listened to scanners with...

After throughly looking into the pictures that I’ve seen with agencies that are apart of ACDC. I believe it’s safe to say that the APX Next radios have came in along with the new mics that Officers and Deputies will be receiving as well. Now I don’t know if DU-COMM has gotten theirs yet but the...

In the past while scanning the full database on my 436HP, I heard Lincoln Weather giving reports to different counties on P25. Does anyone know the TGID used by Lincoln Weather?

@GTR8000 was giving me some info in another thread but we got off topic. I'm working on getting SDRTrunk setup to handle BCFY Calls for my county, but want to ensure I have the necessary configuration. I was informed I'll need a total of 3 SDRs to handle all the frequencies, but my question is...

I've already downloaded the latest version of BCDX36HP Sentinel and have a beginners understanding of how to program frequencies. However I can't find the option to add TalkID Groups to the program. Specifically I'm trying to add OLRec, the Oaklawn Starcom21 channels. If someone could explain...

So I have a general question that may apply to any trunking system similar but I am specifically talking about STARCOM21 in this case. So if you will refer to https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=2324 this link to see how the system is set up. On with the point. I have already set up my...

So I'm admittedly new to the digital trunking side of scanning, although I've owned a scanner for the last 15 years or so. I'm coming from a BCT15X and am trying to program a BCD996P2 using ARC-XT. My question is this: if I import the programming through ACT-XT's radioreference option and I...

How do I use my new SDR to monitor StarCom21.

Evening, I have a Pro-2096 and for the past few Months I have been trying to program STARCOM21 Statewide Illinois P25 system in to this radio. No matter how I program it it does not RX that system. I've tried different antennas, different locations outside. I even had a friend come here TODAY...

I have had a BC246T for several years and programmed it for several EDACS systems, since the local LEO's went from VHF to 800MHZ, now they have gone to the Starcom21 system, using the 700MHZ along with the 800MHZ band. From what I read the BC15X is a base model having the 700 band and the...

Hey everyone; I am not tech savvy at all, but would like to buy a scanner that would allow me to listen to the Illinois State Police District 12. 1. What scanner would you recommend? 2. What frequencies would I need / talk group? I appreciate all of your help. I've looked through a couple...

When I did a search on RR for StarCom21 I found the following: STARCOM21 Statewide Illinois P25 Trunking System, Statewide, Illinois - Scanner Frequencies Near the top of this very long page I saw a news item which said that Site 115 was replaced by Site 149. As I scrolled through the list of...

I know everything is going to StarCom low band and fast. I can't or should say I am having a very hard time keeping up! First off I picked up an old hobby. I did this when I was a kid and loved it. I'm in my late 30's married and probably why I am picking up a hobby again! (reason to rebuild...

Hello, new member here and also new Island Lake resident. I have been browsing around on the topic of scanning the Island Lake PD. Nobody seems to know where they went, and haven't seen any discussion on the topic in 3 or 4 months. One note on the Lake County EDACS page says "Island Lake PD...

DuPage County gears up for $28 million communcation system - Bartlett, IL - Bartlett Press

Good morning. I apologize if these questions have been asked before and/or if I am posting this in the wrong forum. I'm not new to scanners by any means, I've been using them since the early 80's, back in the day when you had to purchase a crystal for each frequency you wanted to listen to and...

Update: The Edwardsville Intelligencer > Local News

I just got my BCD396XT today and was pleasantly surprised to find that it came preprogrammed with Illinois Starmcom21. I've gotten good results from the ISP's District 12 Dispatch and District 9 Dispatch, and decent results with District 6 Dispatch. I live in District 10 (Coles County), and I...
