The University of Illinois has an enrollment of over 40,000 students and is located in Urbana and Champaign Illinois.

Public Safety

U of I Police and Fire

As of August 24, 2007, U of I PD is using MDICE for all their operations.
They are dispatched by METCAD on talkgroup TG 21501 'PATROL 2' which IS NOT simulcast on 453.900 however. All UHF usage is over. For emergencies or car-car, the units will use TG 21506 PATROL OPS 2 (which is encrypted). Some details will use one of the encrypted INCIDENT talkgroups (INCIDENT 5-8). During sporting events, concerts, and parades, U of I PD use MDICE TG 22503 'INCIDENT 4' while at events.

PATROL 2 is shared with Urbana PD (300s and 400s), County Sheriff's Department (500s) and Rural PDs (6___#). 100s are U of I patrol officers, 200s are U of I command officers.

Fire dispatch is provided by Champaign and Urbana Fire Dept's on MDICE with pages simulcast on 154.250 (131.8).

For additional information about scanning U of I football games, see this forum thread
-For public safety at Memorial Stadium, CPD, UIPD, and the County Sheriff police agencies use MDICE TRS TG 22503 which is patched to the Starcom21 TG 13020 for the ISP D10 troopers. Fire operations are on MDICE TRS TG 22502. EMS operations are either by Arrow Ambulance on MDICE TRS TG 22016 or Pro Ambulance MDICE TRS TG 22502. Illini EMS uses 451.450 (DCS 131) and occasionally 158.865 (CSQ).

Television coverage

if the game is on the Big Ten Network, check the Big Ten Network page for their frequencies.

Maps Here are some helpful maps to view while monitoring U of I football games:

As of Fall 2007, U of I PD now exclusively uses the MDICE TRS TG 22503 "INCIDENT 4" for events at the Assembly Hall. They don't use 453.250 at all for Assembly Hall details anymore.

Note: Some of the Assembly Hall details during the 2007-2008 season have been on INCIDENT 4 and some on INCIDENT 1 with no apparent reason why one was used versus the other.

Medical staff uses 464.525 (100.0) along with general stadium operations. Assembly Hall Security is on 463.350 DCS506.
During 2009 Illini Basketball Madness, 464.625 DCS031 was heard discussing the band

Illini - Other Sports

Huff Hall (link):

No radios are used at volleyball games at Huff Hall although Arrow Ambulance or Pro Ambulance have a unit staged outside.
Illini EMS has been observed at the games. They would be using 451.450 DCS131.
Big Ten Network was heard briefly using 462.1375 DCS244 during a game they covered (10/22/08).

Illinois Soccer and Track Stadium (link):

453.600 (85.4) was heard briefly and appeared to be related to the soccer game (notifying when to turn off the PA music) (10/31/08). Occasionally other Memorial Stadium frequencies will be used but infrequently.
If WDWS is carrying the game, listen for them on 161.670 CSQ (10/5/08).
IL EMS was at the game. They would be on 451.450 DCS131 (8/24/10). Also, Arrow or Pro will have an ambulance staged at the game.
Big Ten Network was heard briefly using 462.1375 DCS244 during a game they covered (10/31/08).

Eichelberger Field (link):

No radios observed in use at the softball game. ILEMS might have been at the game as well as PRO ambulance was there. The Big Ten Network used radios however and those frequencies are listed here.(4/16/08)

Illinois Field (link):

No radios observed in use at the baseball game. (4/22/08)

Ice Arena (link):

453.600 (114.8) Ice Arena repeater
451.450 (DCS131) Illini EMS repeater
450.925 (CSQ) WPGU 107.1 FM remote broadcast
169.100 (CSQ) WPGU 107.1 FM wireless mic
UIPD has a unit on scene and I believe they monitor PATROL 2 on MDICE TRS

Entertainment

Krannert Center for the Performing Arts

Traditionally Krannert had used a variety of tones on 452.850 and 457.850 both simplex, however in late 2009 they purchased Motorola XPR MOTOTRBO capable radios and many of the old frequency/tone pairs have fallen silent. The following is their current radio usage:

Frequency	Input	License	Type	Alpha Tag	Description	Mode	Tag

463.55000		WQZC722	B	KCPA Paging	Data (Constant, Paging?)	Telm	Data

XPR radios were observed in November 2009 and noticeably less activity is taking place on the old frequencies listed below. They have a new license: WQKZ473 for MOTOTRBO on new frequencies (both simplex and repeater). None of those frequencies have been heard used (as of May 2010).

Since 11/12/09, only 457.850 (146.2) and 453.600 (136.5) have been confirmed to be still used. 452.850 (127.3), a new find, was logged in autosearch mode (but it's undetermined if this was a false hit). Both 452.850 and 457.850 sometimes have an unidentified choppy data/static sound on them in simplex mode that doesn't sound like the traditional loud raw MotoTRBO audio.

Old radio frequencies - prior to 2010:

452.85000  WPPW738  M   127.3 PL  Krannert Center for the Performing Arts  FM   
452.85000  WPPW738  M	179.9 PL  Krannert Center for the Performing Arts  FM   
452.85000  WPPW738  M	167.9 PL  Krannert Center for the Performing Arts  FM   
452.85000  WPPW738  M	131.8 PL  Krannert Center for the Performing Arts  FM   
452.85000  WPPW738  M	141.3 PL  Krannert Center for the Performing Arts  FM   
457.85000  WPPW738  M	136.5 PL  Krannert Center for the Performing Arts  FM

When Illini EMS is needed, they will be using the 451.450 DCS131 repeater.
