Be careful purchasing a scanner in St. Clair County as they are using a countywide simulcast using CQPSK/LSM. Scanners have a hard time decoding this time of P25 modulation. I did fairly well with my 396XT but not 100%. I could understand most of the traffic. RS and GRE scanners have the same problems with simulcast, so purchase at your own risk.

So, did Belleville move to Starcom or are they using a new system all by themselves?
I hear them on sc21

Thanks scanningisfun for the info.
Thanks for the info. I figured I must ask as I cannot receive St. Clair Counties Starcom towers from here but I can receive many of the old systems that are not on Starcom.
For example, I can hear signals from Clinton and Williamson counties just fine over here though. Just not any Starcom accept the Edwardsville tower and that is hit and miss.
