Is this all of the PD's? Sheriff's office, Kankakee City, Bradley, Bourbonnais?
Can anyone point to what this comment was in reference to? Who/what false information was put out by the citizens? What means did they use....streaming, tweeting, facebook?"The radio system will be encrypted for officer safety, citizen privacy, and to curtail false or inaccurate information from being put out by citizens."...
What could they mean by this
D). All of the above?
Heard a very very unconfirmed rumor that Coles County, Illinois (where Eastern Illinois University is) may be going to Starcom21. Anyone known anything about this?

I believe there is an error in the database for the Forreston Site in Ogle County on STARCOM21. The database shows one of the frequencies is 851.00625. That frequency does not show on the WQFH222 license. However, the license shows 854.9625 which is not listed in the database. I ran a search for 851.00625 in the FCC ULS and it did not find that frequency in use in the state of Illinois.
851.00625 is a motorola default frequency used in the radio that has to be a mistake
Looking at my Pro96Com files, on 07-31-2009, the frequencies for T124 were 856.2125, 857.2125 (c), 858.2125, and 859.2125 (a). I know it's old, but frequencies on towers don't change often

Those 4 frequencies are in the license (WQFH222) as well as 854.9625.Looking at my Pro96Com files, on 07-31-2009, the frequencies for T124 were 856.2125, 857.2125 (c), 858.2125, and 859.2125 (a). I know it's old, but frequencies on towers don't change often
20 more Probationary Troopers hitting the highways today. I'm hearing the radio shop testing new radios on T3-Car to Car in the upper 10074xx/11074xx range which would correspond with the radio structure in Troop 3.
You should be hearing some new radio call signs soon in the Troops mentioned on the press release.
Paper, pen and patience paid off once again! Was able to log 10 of the 11 probationary troopers during "Emergency Button Radio Training" a little while ago on 3-A and 3-North.
3-472 through 3-482 are the new radio signatures, and if the same pattern used as before, they'll be in class until the weekend and start coming out with their training officers.
Here's something I haven't seen done before: tollway maintenance talkgroup 2002 is now operating in Phase 2, patched as it usually is to 2007, which is still operating in Phase 1. Figured it was a matter of time before the main talkgroups started switching over.

The WS 1040 can receive Digital P25 but the StarCom 21 system is currently capable of being phase II P25 (TDMA). Depending on your location all or part of the traffic could be on Phase 1 or Phase 2. I haven’t noticed any Phase II P25 in my area of southeast Illinois. If buying a new scanner I would look for a model that can receive P25 phase II. If your in a metro area where simulcast systems are in use the WS 1040 will struggle to decode simulcast StarCom.
I have the RS106 and RS197 which lack P2 and it's starting to show a loss because some of toll way is on the move to Phasell
I monitor Kankakee alot and i used to hear the "County" mostly on TGs 34930-34931, but lately it sounds like there on rural roads on TGs 34933, 34934, 34935 but the Starcom list shows these as Tac channels named "CITY", anyone know if the listing on Starcom page is wrong or maybe im wrong???TY
