Thank you for the good work on keeping us up to date on this system. I'm out that way now and then so I bring my 436 with me and have been updating talk groups as you contribute them. I just deleted the EDACS system now, running the new P25 and Starcom system under my Will County tag.
I looked up their web site and they have a patrol assignment map on there. Here's the link: https://www.willcosheriff.org/enforce/patrol
Maybe this will help with confirming talk groups?

It is quite a mess. But I guess we'll have to expect it with the requirements to consolidate dispatches.
All the former Lincolnway dispatch towns are now talking to "dispatch" instead of "Lincolnway".

I'm thinking perhaps the use of phase 2 was more for evaluation than for regular operation for now. I looked at each frequency in use yesterday for about an hour and didn't see any phase 2. Back when we were hearing "testing 1 2 3" more often I noted a fair amount in phase 2.

Thank You that's fantastic, however you got that I printed it ....There audio on the system really varies must need tuning up yet...With Romeoville tqking up most of North Group on TG20003 I don't know how County is going to fit in, what if the TG is busy are they pushed to another TG??...

For what it's worth I heard a Romeoville unit calling dispatch twice on another group, 15001 if I recall, I'll have to go through recordings. They didn't answer, wrong channel? Not listening? And if Romeoville has that group it makes me think other departments have their own private channels, car to car, neighboring towns for mutual aid, etc.
County dispatch was busy before. I haven't been listening to everything to map out what/who is where, mostly I'm doing wildcard listening plus monitoring my usual stuff. Heading out for a few hours today, think I'll let unitrunker run and collect stuff again, see if more groups show up.

I have a Whistler 1095. The only thing I'm picking up is some fire calls; Romeoville calls, JJC, and ADF. I did get one from Peotone. So far nothing from the new central group. Is there something I need to be doing?
OK, so I programmed this system into my PSR-500 and I'm unsure if I got it right. Could you or anyone else confirm the following?
System Type: P25 MANUAL
NFM: Yes
System Frequencies: 854.3375, 855.0375, 855.6625, 856.0875, 856.3875, 857.3875, 859.0125, and 859.4125 (copied from the FCC license)
Trunking Tables: Default
Multi-Site Mode: Off

Looks OK to me should copy them fine....They have been having some drop-outs, calling cars that don't answer and I notice when this happens the CC goes from 5 bars on the signal to 2 bars and back to 5.....I live very near one tower on west side of Joliet so the signal is no problem....Have a lot of tuning up to do yet....I have only heard the FPRSE PD once and have not heard the EMA at all....Some audio is crap and others are loud....My Opinion, should have gone to "Starcom", it sounds great here....
Thanks for the info Ron. If I ever head into Will Co again, I'll be sure to provide an update.
Merry Christmas,
Jim

Definetly going to take some time to get use to this. Are Peotone, Beecher, etc still encrypted??

Yup, there on Starcom.....
This sounds similar to the issues they're experiencing with the Midway new P2/800 Mhz. system. I don't know if they're still running a "patch" from the old trunking system to the new, but that is one of the issues they have on Midway's new trunking system. The second is the consoles might by Harris, which combined with "patching" has intermittent issues. If you haven't already tried this, turn your Volume Offset to +3 which helps out here. I also use an external speaker at home.

Thanks, some are loud some soft on audio, the patches have been shut down now nothing on the EDACS at all....

I just read this story this morning. Double fatality last night as a result of a traffic crash. System was probably a little busy.
Are any Fire Departments scheduled to go on line? I was looking up stories on the new center and didn't see any mention of Fire Departments.

Will co
Will Co changed the CC to 854.3375 which is not listed in the database, maybe Cuban can help to add it TY
