Does anybody know why it is offline and not showing anything?
I must be blind I didn't scroll all the way down during the day. I see it now. Thanks for the heads up.The City of Chicago frequencies were recently moved to the main Cook County page.
So you mean the new CFD radio system is trunked, and not conventional? What is the baud rate of the control channels on 476.6875 and 478.2125?Digital testing on, 477.9875, 478.2125, 477.7875, 477.5125, 478.4625, 476.6875....This week i am hearing a CC on 476.6875, 478.2125 even tho the CFD grid testing has been conv-....The signal here in Joliet is very good and so is the digital quality.....
Is this LTR or P25 Auto or manual? I have the psr-500.Digital testing on, 477.9875, 478.2125, 477.7875, 477.5125, 478.4625, 476.6875....This week i am hearing a CC on 476.6875, 478.2125 even tho the CFD grid testing has been conv-....The signal here in Joliet is very good and so is the digital quality.....
I don't think that it is trunked. I also don't know if it will be trunked. Right now, it is UHF Conventional- Digital. One would think that there will be assigned talkgroups and such, just like any other digital trunked system.So you mean the new CFD radio system is trunked, and not conventional?

Yes, it will be coventional, UHF Digital, 6 Channel repeatered system. Their will be low-powered UHF (unknown if Digital or Analog yet) also in use. These will be the "fireground" and miscellaneous usages type. We have yet to have "training" on the radios. I have heard the Battalion Chiefs , DDC's and EMS ADCP's going to the OEMC for training. Not sure what the schooling is on yet. All Chief Officers (Both Fire and EMS) will have the capabilities of switching to "encrypted" mode for sensitive communications. Not sure on the official date for switch over yet, but i'm leaning towards late-fall/early winter if I had to take an educated guess.I popped 476.6875 into my PRO2096 and while it shows the data as M36, it does not indicate a SysID. I can hear what sounds like Moto 3600 data on both 476.6875 and 478.2125 but can not get SysID's.
CFD has licenses for these and many other UHF t-Band for both trunked and conventional. I think Dave (Werinshades) reported that the system would be conventional at the start. I thought I read someplace that they were holding off on trunking for now, but now that there are data channels who knows...
