Did you catch the RIDs using it?

Wiki shows the 42xxx block as Henry County Sheriff. I've never logged any RIDs in that block before.
A friend of mine mentioned to me that he heard a Kewanee officer mention he was going back to Starcom on 4/11.
This morning I woke up to a message saying that he has not heard a single thing from Kewanee PD dispatch all day on 4/18.
I wonder if Kewanee is using the RIDs that were assigned to Henry County long ago?
I'm a little surprised by this but this could account for the traffic and RIDs?

Most of this morning I've had Talkgroup 1221, no encryption, coming across my local tower. Dispatcher is identifing as Henry County Dispatch (42400), the OEM unit is IDing as 7101 (RID:42406)
Just got Talkgroup 1225 also for Henry County it's not encrypted. Didn't get the ID either.
Does it appear to be the same VHF freq / content patched to each of these talkgroups, Nick, or is each talkgroup carrying a different agency's paging? Are you seeing any RIDs during these transmissions? When you determine what each talkgroup is used for, would you be able to submit the information to the Radio Reference database?
It's not unusual for various agencies in the same county to use RIDs in the same "block" (42xxx in this case).
I've added talkgroups 1221, 1225, 1641 and 1643 to the Radio Reference STARCOM21 database page under "Henry County", but descriptions for them are fairly generic at this time. Could someone determine if talkgroups 1221 and 1225 are Phase I or Phase II and report how they're being used? Between talkgroups 1641 and 1643, does one seem to busier than the other, possibly indicating that it could be used for dispatch? Is there an RID on that talkgroup that sees far more use than the others, possibly indicating that it is a dispatch console?
Henry County Sheriff's Office did use STARCOM21 at one time but reverted to using VHF in early 2012.
1641 seems to be the most used one.

1221 Phase 1 Henry County OEM Dispatch. no enc
Does anyone have the old talkgroup info from when HCSO was on starcom back in 2012. wanting to see what kind of channels they were using back then
@kevino I don’t have enough yet to submit. All of my recordings have just been dispatch but no response from units. Likely using unication pagers and doing like St Clair Co did.
RIDs strictly dispatch RIDs consistent with Monroe and Randolph.
One TG referred to as “all call” but I don’t know if that includes Randolph.

Here's what I've been able to gather so far:
29000 - Columbia FPD/EMS paging
29003 - page-out on 4/15 for Maeystown Rural FD and Valmeyer FPD re: exercise in Columbia
29009 - Red Bud FD paging
29011 - Valmeyer FPD paging
29013 - Waterloo FD paging
1641 is Kewanee Police Dispatch I was in kewanee last night and saw an officer on a traffic stop he was talking on his radio and nothing was coming across the vhf channel. Kept showing 1641 on starcom.
Thanks! I'll update the database now.
Ok As of right now Henry County Sheriff Colona Police Galva Police Atkinson Police And Annawan Police are still on Vhf 154.725 Woodhull Police is on 158.7675 And Geneseo Police is still on 155.0025 and Black Hawk College police is on 151.175 which is simulcast to 154.725 not sure yet if anybody else will be switching yet
Are they encrypted? Btw, I'm also in Wyoming.
Yes they are
