That solves that mystery Logged a few hits on T102 when I went to O'Hare on Saturday.

Thanks!

Is Wescom using a code system now? I heard on fire north today "we are code 1". I believe it was Lockport, but it could have been Plainfield.

Yes sometimes Code1 is "everything is OK....Lockport is not on Starcom they are on the Will Co P25-River System digital trunked....Plainfield is on Starcom and word is all there towns and fire are moving to Starcom T113 only, .....They have started testing and simulcasting there VHF fire on T113 yesterday and today.....

Dunno about T113 "only", Ron - Pro96Com is logging some of the new 339xx talkgroups on T101.

I cannot receive T101 here , but on talking to a scanner friend he said Plainfield was in the past only related to T113 but when some of there mobiles far north of town had transmission troubles Motorola assigned them to T101 which I had no knowledge to help fill the gaps....I will be happy to fill you in on any other TG's I hear in the future....

My apologies, I forgot to mention that I heard that on fire north. I monitored an MVA where code 1 was used by the FD.
