NWCD SETUP

[camp637]

Does anyone have the set up for the Northwest Central Dispatch in suburban Chicago area ? I can't seem to figure it out. I know that the PD is encrypted, but I still would like to get this accomplished. Thanks.

What type of scanner do you have? If it is a 436 or 536, it is in the database for Chicago area, Although what the database runs with would depend on your zip code as well. I use 60074.

If you want to import it from radio Reference, then look here:

https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?siteId=21646

That gives you the frequencies for NWCD. You can get the talk groups on RR as well.

Scroll down a few pages and I "believe" those are the talk groups you need. I am no expert here, however, but it should be enough to get you started.
