What's going on with the DuPage County IL IFERN/ISPERN patches?

[JD21960]

The last 2 weeks I've been getting “key-up” noises only on the IFERN/ISPERN patches of
470.3625 and 470.4375 both 146.2* Normally you can hear MABAS boxes near and far, I'm hearing nothing. Haven't seen any information updates on the RRef database. Anyone know if things have changed down there? I'm close to Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg IL and haven't changed a thing on my scanners. Still just key up noises today.

IFERN/ISPERN patches?

Thanks. Anyone else north of North AVE rt 64 having issues? I used to even hear Wisconsin Box alarms. Just key ups and nothing now. Oh well.

UPDATE: Just heard some traffic on it for the first time in a long time. I re-did the frequency without the PL tone and left it open/auto and heard some traffic. Thanks

IFERN 470.3625 146.2 is still active. Haven't heard a peep on ISPERN 470.4375 for about the same time span.

The Will Co sheriff has a TG of 11-042 on there EDACS system which is IFERN, its being keyed up constantly in the mornings especially which is very annoying...Lately its happening more all day and you have to lock it out....Not sure why....

It is working and active. I checked it this morning and was able to hit the repeater mobile and portable on IFERN

@Ronin. Yes, it's still doing that key-up. I have it locked out. ISPERN has been silent and haven't heard squat on that in 2 weeks. Only regular 155.475 ISPERN or Starcom21 talk-groups are being heard where I am. IFERN? I have only heard traffic two times since I first posted. Now it's locked out. I like those patches, I usually hear them near and far, especially useful during Tornado events.

I'm getting the dead keys in the area of Rt 59 and Rt 64, West Chicago.

The IFERN patch was bad this morning with pulsating signal, had to lock it out, someone needs to help it.....
