* Main Repeater - link os 460.5875 Rec.in and 465.5875 out. Located at the water tower in Loves park.
 +
* Backup Repeater - link is 460.625 in and 465.625 out and is located at NPFD 600 wood Ave. Machesney.
 +
* Both Repeaters Receive 154.325 and retransmit on either repeater output
 +
(465.5875 or 465.625) to St Anthony hospital in Rockford IL and is controlled by St Anthony's.
 +
 
 +
So at all times .."MedCom" at St Anthony's 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.
 +
 
 +
Dispatch is located a few miles away from the fire district therefore..
 +
A UHF link is needed for dispatch. They have 2 Receive sights for redundancy.

  • Backup Repeater - link is 460.625 in and 465.625 out and is located at NPFD 600 wood Ave. Machesney.
  • Both Repeaters Receive 154.325 and retransmit on either repeater output

(465.5875 or 465.625) to St Anthony hospital in Rockford IL and is controlled by St Anthony's.

So at all times .."MedCom" at St Anthony's 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.

Metro Enforcement

  • They contract with Rockford Police and have full Police powers of arrest at City housing projects, events, malls and various property management contracts. They carry firearms. Fleet of marked and unmarked Ford CVPIs.

Their PRIMARY DISPATCH/Freqs in Rockford are as follows:

  • 461.6750 (466.6750 Input) DPL464 NFM Metro Enforcement Dispatch F1(Portables) WQJA499
  • 461.6750 (Simplex) DPL464 NFM Metro Enforcement T/A F2 (Portables) WQJA499

Interestingly enough, the callsign, WQJA499 , cancelled in 2018, 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 was confirmed as of 6/30/15.
