I recall an incident in the late 80's or early 90's in Itasca ,Illinois in which a cellular one free standing tower was toppled. The culprits loosened the bolts at the bottom of the tower. So it does occur more than we probably hear about.

Have a 5 foot tripod with three antennas on it this is what I have done. Run a 2 awg wire from the top antenna directly to ground rod. Using split bolts I grounded the other two antennas to the main run of 2 awg. At the entry point I have poly phasers that are grounded using 2 awg to the ground...

Grundy County has Police 1, 2429, patched to their old system on TG 240. Not sure why or when it stared, but hearing it today on both systems.

Got it back today. Thanks

I clicked on Will County and scrolled to bottom of the page. I was surprised that the trunked systems in that county are not there no more. I tried four other counties with the same result. What happened to this information. How can I see changes to local trunked systems

Do not take this for gospel, but this is what I am receiving here in Dwight: CC 7 TG 101, Slot 2 but two hits on slot 1 UID's 1103, 1105, 1106, 1109, 1110, 1112, 1113, 1120 I am using a 536 with a duel band 2/70 antenna at 35 feet RSSI is only in the 100's Hope this may help

Ron,did you happen to hear a street name or area?

Not sure about MDC's and FA terminals, but could the enhanced conditions on Vhf and UHF these last few weeks have anything to do with it? I did make a contact on 70cm FM to Arkansas a week or so ago and have heard stations from Michigan easily here in Dwight. Just a thought.

Site 207 is back on air. Just got back home and it is humming away with the normal traffic. Site 154 is passing some Grundy TG's now, Police 1, Police 2, and Fire 1 in both phase 1 and phase 2

As of 10:15 local time 207 still down. Been monitoring and logging for two hours no activity.

That might be it. I did hear many D-6 units calling Springfield and one officer saying his radio was out and to call him on cell phone. The c/c was changing a few times to. I am going to monitor it this am for a little to see if it came back up.

I have not heard anything on site 207 for over an hour. Have tried two different radios and antennas. I am receiving Dwight 154 and Sibley 251. The only thing I see is the Prison encrypted TG's popping up Any ideas or anyone else seeing the same?

V-Com Livingston County Update. 6406 TG is being used as a tone-out/page only for Dwight EMS, and is only heard on site 154 and had been in phase 2. 460.6000, multicast to 5780 is used by Livingston Fire Districts for fire ops, Duffy EMS and Dwight EMS use Starcom as primary, fire districts use...

New Starcom Talk Group 6406 heard twice and logged twice more on site 154. Phase 2. It appears to be Dwight FD/EMS tone out only. Will advise as I hear further.

If this is redundant please forgive me. Check c/c should be 773.33125 There is a Location for site 113 in Seneca Are you using an outside antenna? Band conditions have been up and down the last few days as I have been getting some distant UHF stations. It is also possible that location may have...

Another Police Agency goes to the dark side. So much for reform and transparency

KA9MGC That is V-Com fire. They use the same frequency but with a 110.9 pl. V-Com dispatches for all Livingston county agencies, all the fire districts in Livingston use this frequency.

Joe, Last year at this time I had an SDS200 for about 5 days. The display started going fuzzy. I sent it back for refund. Has this problem been addressed? I feel that Uniden should work on the Hardware problems first, to ensure that the units are first rate and without problems. Then tackle the...

I have noticed that Will County has updated their licensees to add 5 frequencies to the simulcast site on the system. It looks as if these were previously used on the old EDACS system. I tried listening to them in conventional but nothing heard except on 851.7625, hearing an EDACS control with...

Jamming can still be done even with encryption. So while that may be a concern, it is not a valid reason
