ARTCC freqs in IL

[k9swx]

I'm new to the ARTCC monitoring scene, so please pardon my ignorance. I'm wanting to monitor the Chicago/KC/Indy ARTCC frequencies, but not sure which ones to program into my scanner. I found the list of them on here as well as several other sites, but is it overkill to program them all in? I've got a BC246T so right now I've got a group for each ARTCC (Chicago, KC, and Indy). I noticed there's about 12 frequencies that are shared by 2 of the ARTCC's, so when those are active I'm not sure which ARTCC they're using. I guess it's not that big of a deal, just trying to learn more about it. Thanks!!

Thanks for the freqs. I take it that I should indeed enter all of those freqs into the scanner then? (which I did last night, but was just curious if it was overkill to put all of them in) Thanks again!
