Update Posted on 2006-10-13 20:17:28 Update from a contributor: A 800MHZ freq, seems to be related to support duties, 860.9875 can be heard at my home and at my job, both at least 15 miles away. Using a Uniden BCD396D -- there are 5 channels, one of which is control that is changed every day, so you must lock out the new one, and unlock the old. 408.8100,409.4100,408.2100,409.0100,410.0100. Here is the weird part -- I found these channels with a normal 406.00-420.00 search. I saved them to the "quick save" system and from there they decoded perfectly,"P25" appearing at the bottom of display. BUT, if you try to enter these freqs in a Motorola "P25" system like the manual says, you will never hear a thing. mostly prisoner movements, but sometimes it gets good! Update Posted on 2005-11-23 13:23:49 From CARMA yahoo group: ...It appears they've gone digital now, got a couple off group replies that its the Pekin prison and they havn't been able to track it with the offsets. I found the CC as 409.0125. Finally figured out the Control channel only tracking during custom searches and it comes up with a system ID of B13EH. For some reason theres no audio during Control channel only searching but I did get 2 ID's of 96 and 32. In conventional scanning mode, it tracks the digital perfect on the frequencies I listed below. Now if it can only read the control channel in scan mode. > >I know theres some Peoria area residents here, i'm attempting to > >locate the user of these frequencies and if its a trunked system.
