Just a warning to other RR users out there, anything put into the wiki or Winnebago or Boone County Databases will most likely be taken and posted on a website called Rockford Scanner without giving credit to the author. Rockford Scanner has also sent in a lot of inaccurate submissions to the database. Because of this, most of the info you see in the Winnebago County database is wrong. For those who do not know, Rockford Scanner is the reason multiple local law enforcement agencies have gone to encryption due to safety concerns brought out by Rockford Scanner. Rockford Scanner encourages harassing first responders, especially law enforcement by being sovereign citizens to the first responders. Rockford Scanner also encourages viewers/site victors to video tape any first responders doing their duty and email it to them. '''Do not send anything to Rockford Scanner.'''

  • Both Repeaters Receive 154.325 and retransmit on either repeater output

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.
