Buffalo Grove Fire Department

[Chief_601]

I am trying to monitor the Buffalo Grove FD in Lake County. I understand that they are on a trunked system but I'm not sure of the frequencies or talkgroup ID's. I have the Lake County EDACS system programmed in but still haven't had any luck. Suggestions?

Thanks,
David

They are on the digital Northwest Central Dispatch radio system.
BG is in both Cook and Lake Counties, NWCD is listed in Cook County:
Northwest Central Dispatch - NWCD (Lake/Cook) Trunking System, Arlington Heights, Illinois - Scanner Frequencies
You need a digital scanner and since rebanding, you need to enter the special tables.
I never had luck listening to them, but I dont go there often.

As Jim already mentioned, they are on the Northwest Central Dispatch digital trunked system, not the county EDACS system. In addition to the resource here at RR that he posted you can find information in the CARMA Profile at www carmachicago.com/profiles
