Don't even bother 40% of the time my scanner are not even turned on. Mostly use the portable scanner when I go on vacation and yes I could give two **** what the visiting state laws are " I just do it."
28 June is the Day
According to my friend at the LCSO this evening... "The cutover begins tomorrow... phased within an 8 hour period. Everyone is confident that it will work well - training has been accomplished and a fail-safe is in place just in case. DOT and other county departments follow later in the week."

Yep, me too. [emoji24] Forty years for me, starting with a 4-channel RS crystal scanner. The end of an era for me.
I feel for you guys. I've already decided that if my area goes total enc that I'll simply move to an area where the county is poor enough, they can't afford encryption. Out of state if need be. :roll: 73, n9zas
Announcement made by the shift commander at 1315hrs on LCS1 on EDACS "All units switch over to the new radios this is the last time we will be using these radios please use LCS1 on there" that's all she wrote..
Lets waste someones valuable time and taxpayer money so butt hurt scanner geeks feel vindicated?
To be fair, without a good reason for filing, it would never even get to the point where it would waste someone's time..
Got a few new hits today from Unitrunker on TGs in the 334xx series that aren't listed in the DB. No voice calls, just affiliations.

Hearing 159.1425 PL127.3- Lake Zurich, Wauconda, Volo and Island Lake FIRE this far south....Must be a good repeater....
Great catch Ron! Yes, just licensed last week... a fill-in repeater to assure coverage for Wauconda/Volo/Island Lake, now that District 34 (Wauconda Fire District) is dispatched by Lake Zurich, about six miles southeast... simulcast with LZ's frequency.
I had a horrible time getting them to come in yesterday on 155.475. Sounded very "fadey" and sort of similar to how the VHF simulcasts of the DU-COMM fire channels sound. I'm using an outdoor discone on a 10 foot pole with a preamp that gets DeKalb County S6-7, so I highly doubt it was on my end.

Waukegan PD is now on the Starcom21 system in an encrypted mode. North Chicago and Zion PDs are still on their original analog frequencies (for the time being).
From what I hear, Waukegan Fire is staying on VHF.

Smart they are
Today while monitoring Lake counties secured system a tac channel was in the clear today. I will not tell the id # but this is a very smart move by my local county with a secured system. Very smart guys to have a tac channel in the clear. Love the government people.
