So I take it Grundy County is on the STARCOM system now, and not their old Motorola system....
I have not been up that way in a while.



Doesn’t sound full fledge yet. Not everything was being transmitted over the talk groups. Also it’s being simulcasted on their Vhf freqs. Fire is the only thing I heard. No law enforcement transmissions yet

OK. I need to update my radios anyway. I have been working a lot lately and haven't had time to get the whole "Will County" debacle programmed in. Will do that soon. I have Grundy Co. talk groups in my 996P2. Are they still accurate?

I'm still getting T125 (Morris) signals while traveling up that way. Is the plan to change it to 113 still in the works? I was still picking up T125 on Friday night (04/06).

Not sure but but they been using T125 for grundy paging on starcom. I really haven't heard that many TGs yet

I have still been hearing Grundy Co / Morris / Minooka on the analog system on my BCT 15X. Just didn't know if there was a new time frame for when they were going to switch over.....
Also, was wondering if there was any news on the Seneca tower?

Weird stuff on the Fire Page TG (analog system). Almost sounded like an ISPERN broadcast but wasn't.

Heard what sounded like a fire page for an ambulance call. Heard, "1100 (inaudible street name) "North of Lyle and Marietta Ave." for a (description of female with leg pain).

Gonna have to do some monitoring of this and the Starcom System over the weekend (next days off) as my scanners are eerily quiet this morning Only had about an hour to listen in.

The old system is still up and running. Driving through Wednesday night and last night I caught the SO dispatch on the analog system (with no simulcast on Starcom) as well as Fire North. I logged some affiliations on various Starcom talkgroups but not much traffic yet
