Did you happen to catch any RIDs? The STARCOM21 wiki has a fairly extensive collection of RIDs, and it might help to narrow down who was using this TG. Thanks!

Per a contact who asked a former tollway employee, it stands for "Road Sprayer". What they're spraying (roadway markings? weed killer?) I don't know.

For that TG I've got RIDs 474505, 474524, 476047, 477012. I'll be in Bloomington through Monday morning so I'll watch for more. In less than a day so far there have only been 2 affiliations from 477012, nothing else.

4:38PM heard Quad-Comm Fire tone then voice call out a fire. Starcom21 SITE 149 .... loud and in the clear. The tone sounded slightly weak in volume unlike the Tri-Com tones which are too loud on my UnicationG5.

Quad-Com has been multicasting their tone-outs on VHF and SC21 TG 11113. No follow-up voice traffic yet on TG 11113 other than what might be the occasional grab of the wrong mic in the field.

Kane County Sheriff has switched to SC21 as of 5:30 this morning. Nothing remaining on VHF except fire. TG 3326 is Kane County Main.
Thanks for the report and submission, the database has been updated. Additional information about other 33xx talkgroups also in use would be appreciated.

Is there anyone reading this thread in the Fulton County area? Early in the morning on Saturday 6/19, there was traffic between two 4787xx RIDs on SC21 TG 6191 (heard on the Peoria County Simulcast Site) in reference to a downed power wire on (county route?) "23". Due to the proximity of this TG and the RIDs to known TGs/RIDs for Fulton County, I'm guessing that this is one of theirs. Fulton County ESDA? Anyone know for sure?

I've added the RIDs to the RR SC21 wiki and added a note to the Radio Reference SC21 database page Fulton County subcategory.

Fire and PD or just fire?



Nvm.. just saw the talk group light up... well that was fun listening to kane county while it lasted...
Yep. Haven't heard anything at all on UHF, I am still hearing fire pages on VHF but that's it. They are being done on StarCom and patched back to VHF it appears.

Hey, at least when KaneComm puts out an IREACH you can hear the dispatcher side of KC Main, they still simulcast in those situations.

(Not much, I know)
