Is the Will Co EDACS system still in operation at all?
Should it be deprecated?

Are you sure that is an EDACS control channel? Could the freq have been repurposed to another system?Interesting. I can still get the control channel near Elwood.
I'm fairly confident. It matches the frequencies licensed for the Will County EDACS system. It doesn't sound like a P25 control channel.Are you sure that is an EDACS control channel? Could the freq have been repurposed to another system?
I believe that it went on the air around 1996.How long was that EDACS system up and on the air?
I set the system back to Normal Display (from Deprecated status) in the database.There is still a EDACS control on 851.7625.
I have full 5 bars in Dwight.
Some one suggested that one site from the old EDACS system maybe transmitting this and it may not be able to be received in all parts of Will County.
Did a little searchI am going to put his out there.
I have been receiving an EDCAS cc om 851.275 about a month ago.
Now it has switched to 851.7625.
These are frequencies that were used in the old Will Co. EDACS system.
To the best of my knowledge that system has been off the air.
I can not find ant other agencies licensed to these frequencies in the area that would use an EDACS system.
I am receiving this in Dwight with an outside antenna, 5bars, RSSI on ProScan 398.
I have received a confirmation on this signal Ron in Joliet.
Can anyone shed light on this.
Thanks
