Identified Talkgroups
Most districts in the state are using Starcom21 for their radio communications. Below is a map which shows the talkgroups used at the local IDOT yards throughout the state.

A closeup map of the Chicago Area yards:

10/13 - McHenry Co. Primary, 453.4875, has been replaced by 453.6375 in a modification to callsign WQPX735. Please submit if this has been confirmed as in use.

[8/13 - need update] F1 (150.995) and F8 (453.4) are simulcast. Other channels can be patched as needed.

There is a shorthand way of referring to the expressways so that NW @ Harlem is understood as outbound JFK @ Harlem. NW & SE = JFK E & W = IKE NE & SW = I 55 N & S = Dan Ryan & Eedens and I 57 & Ford

IDOT Emergency Patrol Vehicle's carry both UHF and SC21 radios. UHF frequencies are primary and SC21 is used as fallback. (as of 8/13) Conventional P25 Radio IDs (RIDs)
