Since I'm back in the Chicago area this summer, I've dedicated my free time to trying to figure out what exactly goes on with the big Cook County encrypted network. I have been able to identify quite a few talkgroups based on RIDs with what I would like to believe to be a fairly decent amount of accuracy, but obviously it's nearly impossible to know when you can't listen to what you're trying to identify. If anyone is interested in my findings, I can PM a list of my logs.
My reasons for starting this thread are as follows: 1. Does anyone have any information on when the medical examiner site will be up and running? The database has shown it for a while now but I don't have a control channel on any of the frequencies from my location. 2. Does anyone have any more information on the talkgroups "above" 25100? From what I can tell all talkgroups below are used by CCSP, and above are used by suburban agencies, but like I said it's impossible to know for sure from where I stand. 3. Does anyone have information on how areas like Dixmoor/Phoenix/Golf/etc. are dispatched, i.e. whether they have their own talkgroups or if they're lumped in on the CCSP North/South talkgroups? I can say for certain that Northlake has their own talkgroup, but they also switched to the system fairly late.
Any help anyone could provide for my summer project would be much appreciated, and I'd be happy to share what I've found with anyone who is interested! I'll respond to either PMs or responses on this thread itself.
