Sounds like they're back to normal.
Just heard north dispatch doing a moment of silence.. didn't catch what it was for.

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that's a microwave receiving antenna, probably used for base to tower signals. Makes sense that those would be pointed in different directions given the comm centers are in different places.
That’s a microwave antenna. That allows a primary or secondary data path between 2 sites. The SC21 antenna(s) will be towards the top of the tower, not halfway down.

5803 is showing IL Dept of Corrections, fully ENC, on STARCOM. But that won't explain why its on 461.xxx MHz range. If I'm reading it right, 1.47 is in the city of Dekalb. Hmmm..... Could it be tracking another system?
Im not finding it in the database. How would you know its IDOC?

OOPs. My bad. 5303!!
TG 5791 is in the clear and active again tonight.
Today I finished remaking the StarCom 21 site map (Click Here). I also added a few system as different layers. Any questions, suggestions, or comments you can tag me here or direct message me.
There are Site 101 locations in Westchester and Lemont (both in Cook County) that aren't shown in the site map (locations 1 and 2 in this license FCC Callsign WQOF260 (DU PAGE COUNTY ETSB) ).
Its is now fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

Very impressive! I'm by Midway Airport and thought I'd see sites closer to me than they are. The Cook & DuPage sites are easily monitored and it must be my great SDS scanners doing the job
I don't know if you follow the Unication Forum, but that's where I learned about the disadvantages and advantages. In my opinion, they're pricey considering their limitations. With the G5, I know they're trying to tweak some new firmware, but it seems like for every step forward, their is one step backwards. Site scan is an important feature to me and a big plus for the SDS series, but as of my last check in they haven't released that yet.
Weigh the options for your best fit, and if it looks like it'll work for you go for it. The reception is very good from what I've read, so it won't disappoint you there.
