Replying to thread

Hello I wanted to know if anybody can provide updates on the Peoria County system on here like talkgroups control channels and anything else that happens with the system. Thank you.

Could someone tell me when the system is online and going with testing of new talkgroups.

Could I have some more talkgroup information and control channel information on this system. I dont know why everybody quit replying with new info.

Thank you
Anthony Lee

The site has this note:

9/24/13 - 851.125 is a possible control channel for this system.

Since it is not up and running talkgroups are probably not available and have not been assigned. You will just have to wait until then.

I am sorry it was a typo I meant the XTS5000 700-800MHz. I don't know how to program an Motorola APX7000 for P25 systems. I dont have an APX I have an XTS. Again very sorry for the confusion.

In order to program your radio for a P-25 system, it will have to be programmed with the proper system key by the administrator of the system. If you are for real, have a capable radio and will be authorized to operate on this system you should talk with your radio tech. If not, your XTS is just a fancy brick- having control channel information and talk group numbers aren't going to help you.

XTS5000

Can the XTS be program to receive the system with the talkgroups and control channels?

Peoria P25

Does anybody know if Peoria will go conventional P25 instead of the system because the fire has the Harris P7100IP. I assume it is VHF and not VHF/700-800MHz.

Thank you

Peoria City Fire and Police will move to the County's Harris P25 800 MHz system sometime in 2014.

Can the XTS be program to receive the system with the talkgroups and control channels?

Yes it can if done properly. However, it's not something I would recommend unless you're very familiar with programming a radio for trunking.

PSD150 security getting new radios for the system

The school will be getting new radios to interact with the cops. However they are not going digital.

12/6/13 New Control channel

Today I picked up the control freq on 851.125. Was 851.7125.

 

[kraziebill]

They've been doing a lot of testing this past week. I've actually picked up the control channel on several different freqs.

 

[KampingAnthony1AolCo]

Does anybody know who will be the first agency on the system?

introbility between other agencies

When are cops go digital there won't be any introbility between other agencies because they are not in digital.The only county in digital is Knox county.Tazewell County has there EDACS system.The rest are UHF analog.

Police Interoperability

There is interoperability built into the communications plans of the various law enforcement agencies in Peoria County. The new Harris P25 system is one part of those plans. When the total conversion is made from the legacy systems to the new 800 system, police agencies, including officers on the street, will have more interoperability capabilities than they have now.

We are in the testing and optimizing period for this new system. Many fire apparatus have the new radios installed, but not programmed.

Be patient, this is not a fast process.

 

[KampingAnthony1AolCo]

Will there also be conventional P25 on the old UHF system?

What decode rate did you get in Morton at the time? It appears listening is going to be a challenge from outside of Peoria Co. due to simulcast distortion. The decode rate is terrible in the Washington area. The voice channels sound pretty decent sometimes, but my PSR 500 can't lock onto the control channel data for very long. The distortion is much worse than what I get from the Peoria Starcom21 simulcast system.

Peoria Journal Star

The newspaper had a nice article about the new system today.

Peoria County emergency radio system making switch to digital - News - Journal Star - Peoria, IL

I read it and wondered who was AMK services that was doing the install in the cop cars and fire trucks.

Thank you
