I am new to scanning so apologize for newbie questions in advance.

In the RR DB there is a public safety system for chicago under
Illinois/Cook/County Systems/Chicago Public Safety & Services
that lists individual police units e.g Detectives(TGID=29xx, Gang=18xx) etc.

Is that system in use or are those now under the City Wide channels?
I appreciate the help.
Bob.

Infrequently used. Curently you'll hear the Marine Unit car-to-car, Mayoral Detail and the OEMC radio personnel. Used to hear the covert Narcotics officers, Gang Investigations...etc. Was good to listen to.

On this topic, I am using WIN 500 to find the city wide channels. I cannot locate them under public safety. Can you tell me where to look? Can this be down loaded from RR into WIN 500?

EDIT: To be more precise, when I search for Chicago Police under cook county with WIN 500, I can pick things such as Gang Units and narcotics. But what happened to the city wide, regular police dispatch and car to car frequencies?

Thanks

Greg

I wanted to clarify this even more in hopes of some help. Using WIN 500, I search under Chicago Public Safety and Services. It shows me the Motorola type 11 Smartnet options for Public safety and services.

I am given the option for 1 site with 800 mhz frequencies. I can locate talk groups for Chicago police Gang Unit, Vice Squad, Detectives, Operations, and a few others. There is no Talk Group for City wide or any other routine police communications. I cannot find any other options for Chicago Police. Its becoming frustrating.

Is there any reason why RR is not showing any other talk groups? Again your help would really be appreciated.

If you are looking under Trunked Systems you will only find a tiny part of CPD. Most CPD traffic, including the District dispatch and Citywide channels are all 460.xxx MHz. analog and conventional (not trunked).

These freqs are all in the RR Database and CARMA Profile.

Thanks for the help. When I go to RR, they are easy to find. But looking for them to down load in WIN 500 was more difficult. I finally found them but not under "cook county." I found the Chicago Police and Chicago Fire Departments under the heading "Chicago." Just glad I found them.

Again thanks.
