- Both Repeaters Receive 154.325 and retransmit on either repeater output

So at all times .."MedCom" at St Anthonys can hear 154.325 on either tower sight by listening to 465.5875 or 465.625 and respond using 460.5875 or 460.625 to output 154.325.

Rockford Police Department

Metro Enforcement Website
- They contract with Rockford Police and have full Police powers of arrest at City housing projects, events, malls and various property management contracts. They are carry firearms. Fleet of marked and unmarked Ford CVPIs.
Their PRIMARY DISPATCH/Freqs in Rockford are as follows:
- 461.6750 (466.6750 Input) WQJA499 DPL464 NFM Metro Enforcement Dispatch F1(Portables)
- 461.6750 (Simplex) WQJA499 DPL464 NFM Metro Enforcement T/A F2 (Portables)

Interestingly enough, the callsign, WQJA499, only licenses this freq for Chicago (they run a 662DPL on the same pair in Chicago) - however they use it out here in Rockford, too - just with a different PL. Interesting ????
This information has been confirmed as of 6/30/15.

Airports
Chicago/Rockford International Airport [RFD]
- The former Greater Rockford Airport is officially is the CHICAGO/ROCKFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. Airport officials approved the name change in an effort to market the facility as an alternative to O'Hare International Airport and Midway Airport in Chicago. After several months with no commercial air service, the Rockford airport was able to attract commuter connections from United Airlines and Northwest Airlines. It also is the second name change in as many years. The airport for a time was known as The Northwest Chicagoland Regional Airport at Rockford. (Greater Rockford Airport Authority)
