I wonder if this was planned change or sudden move because some units were still going 10-41 on TG 1101 but were told to 10-21 radio/disp. Not encrypting all TG's just moved patrol DIV to TG 1115.Still hearing some towns they dispatch for on 1127 & corrections /court security.

Starting today 2/13/13 looks like all TG's are now encryption (including DOT & snowplows).

Please submit the TG id's that are now encrypted to the database. I'm hesitant to just mark every talkgroup in the 1100s assigned to McHenry County as encrypted are there may still be a few straggler talkgroups left unencrypted for interop/emergencies.

McHenry county has communications in the clear at least one month now. maybe longer. Four years later go figure government spending.


Does anybody know what radios they are using?

For STARCOM 21 monitoring go with the Unication radio runs great on the simulcast systems.
