From a contributor

  • 154.340 is simplex and almost everyone is using a 156.7 PL. Most radios are set to CSQ on RX only. Most agencies label this channel “Ogle” on their radios but any that I have helped with we label it “Ogle Fire.” Paging and regular traffic is all here, except for Rochelle, as described below.
  • 154.385 is the fire ground channel. Most here are using MABAS Red, but will also use this frequency with no PL tone.
  • 154.160 simplex with 156.7 PL is used by Rochelle and the surrounding departments already listed on RR.
  • (AFAIK) There are 4-5 tower sites being used for 154.340 and just one for 154.160. They seem to have the county broken in half East/West and page on the appropriate side of the county for that agency. I was told it’s simulcasted. Any MABAS incident is covered by all sites.
  • Side note: they will start a MABAS incident and if it only includes agencies within the division/county they will not page on IFERN, but instead keep it on 154.340 and use a single long tone group call tone.
