This from a CarmaChicago conversation:
Tri-Com will probably be adding North Aurora Fire and Sugar Grove Fire and Police to their covered agencies in the coming months. (http://www.tri-com911.org/DOCS/Agenda%20Regular%20030613%20(revised).pdf)
Rumor also has it that they will be adding a second fire dispatch channel, but I don’t know what the freq or PL will be for that yet. Sugar Grove PD will take the 5 series unit designators (5-paul-x, etc) when they make the switch.Dan

This from Chris Ranck:
this from carma chicago; NORTHWEST CENTRAL is switching to a new radio system , it will be a new STARCOM 21 system . It will be a new tdma system which is a non-monitorable radio system . They are supposed to switch on MARCH 26 2013 . They will be switching the old digital system first, towns like ELK GROVE , ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, BUFFALO GROVE etc…… 2) SCHAUMBURG system and finally STREAMWOOD and HOFFMAN ESTATES systems. Since it’s tdma, scanners won’t be able to recieve it .
