I've been paying a little closer attention to District-Chicago the past week and have noticed some talk group changes. Chicago A (9005) which previously was designated as Priority is handling all Administrative radio traffic that used to be handled on Chicago E,F,G (9009,9010,9011) which is now silent. Chicago H (9010) which is tagged as Aux use, I've never heard radio traffic on.
Detail A, B, C (9027,9028, 9029) are still being used and Detail C is the Thompson Center Detail. The new Priority (9051) is ISPERN is still in use as well as Car-to-Car (9067).
The other talk groups listed I don't recall hearing traffic on in the past but might be used in the event of a natural disaster. IREACH Patch (9043), Local Patch (9059), Intercom...not sure what that is? (9103), Chicago Police Interagency Talk Groups (9117,9118) I can't recall hearing traffic on in the past, so I've removed them from my list.
As some may know here, District-Chicago has taken over dispatching for District-2 (Elgin) and District-5 (Joliet) which probably accounts for the talk group changes. I've heard District-6 (Pontiac) dispatch on District 5 in the past, but it would appear District-Chicago now has these duties.
I've submitted these changes to the database. The only one I wasn't sure of until recently was Chicago G which it would appear are also being dispatched on Chicago A (9005). This has been quite a change since the introduction of Starcom many years ago with all this talk group consolidation, and dispatch centers consolidating too.
