Joliet Il help

[jeryzuko]

I am brand new to scanners and purchased a BCD436HP I am trying to find out what frequencys to use for Joliet Il. Thanks in advance

The City of Joliet uses the StarCom21 P25 Trunked system. Unfortunately, ALL Joliet talkgroups (even Public Works) are fully encrypted and cannot monitored with any scanner.

That’s correct no Joliet, but you can monitor Will Co, ISP and Wescom...

THANKS for the help I returned the BCD436HP and looking for suggestions for a good entry level scanner for Will and Grundy counties in Illinois.

I think the 436 would have done that for you.

 

[RoninJoliet]

Yes you need that scanner because Grundy uses Phase II and the other H/H lds would be the SDS100 or Uniden 325P2 or base version... Morris and Minooka are P2 all the time ....

You can still listen to the will Co p25 system has east joliet and surrounding agency's in there and they may respond to joliet mutual aid. Will County (P25) Trunking System, Joliet, Illinois - Scanner Frequencies

FWIW. Picked up a used BTT P25RX rig last month. Works great for WILL County when in the area.

Thank you I will look into it

I am in the same boat in Saint Charles. ISP Is not encrypted. Fire EMS And the like also are not. I just hooked up a GPS And will start exploring other things to hear. I did the gps mod that is on this site. Temporary connections at first to make sure all was working. This weekend will be solder time. Good luck.

Actually, Fire and EMS in Joilet are encrypted too. When I said ALL talkgroups, I meant every single one, even Fire, EMS, and Public Works. There's literally NO agency in the city that's in the clear. Your only options are to monitor ISP, the surrounding cities, and the Will Co P25 system.

Wow I thought Kane and DuPage sucked. I need to move to a more open part of the country. LoL.

Kendall County is probably the best county in Illinois for radio listeners everything is still analog and they have no plans to switch that
