Collinsville Dist. 11 is now using
8 plus the car number it appears.

Ex. 8-116 8-57 etc.

CC and TG appear unchanged.

 

[werinshades]

Troop 8 (District 11/18) mostly using new identifiers today: (So far)

Former D18A 17009 appears to be 8-1xx units (in former District 18 area) (8-102, 103, 105)
Former D11A 17000 appears to be 8-xx units (in former District 11 area) (8-26, 94)
Former D11B 17001 so far has been ICP 4Fxx units (4-F-30)
Former D11C 17002 so far has been DCI 7-IDA units (7-I-46)

11-K9-2 was still using his identifier today

District 11 ISPERN is still being said as "District 11 ISPERN" and saying "State Police Collinsville"

Collinsville Dist. 11 is now using
8 plus the car number it appears.

Ex. 8-116 8-57 etc.

CC and TG appear unchanged.

Not upset at all, many seem to be on top of Troop 8 down there. But...I do have a question maybe you or anyone else can answer. Is Troop 8 using the "A/B" designation on their channels, or "Primary/Secondary" designations that was previously reported? From my location and the programmed sites "Cook/DuPage", (Districts/Troops) frequently affiliate with our sites up here. I have all the Troops programmed in ID Scan mode, and just trying to verify, thanks and Happy New Year!

 

[TGP]

Thx.
I been busy until this morning to monitor the radios so I can't help yet with that
Queston.
Will update if I find out.

Forensic Service (F-Frank Units), Secretary of State (x-J-John-xx), and Department of Natural Resource Units (x-F-Frank-xx) units are retaining their call signs at this time.

DC-B (Old District-Chicago North 9006), was used by the State Fire Marshal (DA (David-Adam-5), and was answered by Chicago (don't call them District-Chicago ).

Troop 3 has retained the Priority/ISPERN and Car-to-Car channels/talkgroups that were previously used.

Still some confusion, old habits going on as expected, but I'm sure they'll get the hang of it.

The formerly known 2-2 is now 3-4, so it would appear the higher up you are, the less numbers you have to remember

Posted in the new SC21 thread too but hearing T4 using 13002, T5 using 13000, T6 using 13004, T7 using 13007, all as expected. Haven't seen any other talkgroup usage than that on site 229.

Happy New Year!

I just read that, thanks for confirming what I have programmed! Hopefully the car-to-car and ISPERN talkgroups can be confirmed soon. Happy New Year!

Just started monitoring today in Troop 8, and won't be as much traffic on a Sunday.

But yesterday, the dispatcher told a unit to use "11A", and told another unit that their assignment was "55 talkgroup TG A". Not sure if that means along I-55 or not. A former district 18 unit was told "North Patrol" while using the old18A (which D18 would be the northern section of Troop 8.

Sounds like the radios might not be programmed for Troop 8 talkgroup zone since they're using the older District channel structure.

TROOP 8
"District 18 Units" on D18 ISPERN "State Police Litchfield" (Litchfield is still sometimes said, but not usually from experience over the years)
"District 11 Units" on ISPERN "State Police Collinsville"

Hearing some units call in on 18A (8-xx) and told to go to 11A.

Currently a shooting in State Park (village southwest of Collinsville). 11A secured for incident. Others moved to 11B for dispatch.

It sounds like everything was changed but the radio zone.

 

[cheld18]

Ive been hearing the new 6-## Identifiers in the Springfield area with the occasional slip up of 9-##

 

[cheld18]

Also the former District 20 cars are still using 20-## Identifiers on 13004. have not heard any traffic as of yet on 13011

 

[MikeyC]

I heard dispatch call "Troop 1 Units" on D1 ISPERN earlier. Seems D16 units are "1-" units now. D17 units seem to be "2-" units and D2 and D5 units being "3-".

Fun times!

Did you see the new map in the Wiki? That information is well documented.
