NORCOM net 17

[Lyons841]

Have not heard any traffic on NORCOM NET 17 - 100 Maywood, 200 Broadview, 300 Bellwood, 400 Hillside or 500 Westchester.
Think this started after the storms moved through. NORCOM Net 10 and 16 seem ok.

Were any of those entities with the "former" Norcomm before Cicero "took over" the agencies dispatched at their facility by Norcomm?

I am aware of at least some Net 17 agencies getting new radios programmed recently in preparation for the entire net to move over to a talkgroup on the Cook County system. Perhaps they migrated over already...

I know for a fact that Maywood not too long ago allocated funds for new radios (per a BM minutes that I read a few months ago). Broadview PD units already have APX radios and use the Cook Co node of SC21 when putting out ISPERN messages. Not sure about Bellwood, but I assume that they too have APX portables since they do have a license for 2 800MHz repeaters (1 of the freq is used by their Dept of Homeland Security).
