004 Mackinaw 01 855.96250 --> To monitor this site, set it up as a EDACS-SCAT system in your scanner (you can't decode individual talkgroups but can eliminate the data so that just the audio is heard). This frequency always transmits control channel data, except when analog audio is being transmitted.

If you are trying to monitor this system from Bloomington-Normal, the best signal will be from the Delavan site. In Peoria County, the best signal is from the Creve Coeur site.

Agencies dispatched on talkgroup 02-021 include: Tazewell County Sheriff's Department ("Sam" units), Deer Creek PD, Delavan PD, Green Valley, Hopedale, Mackinaw PD, Minier PD, South Pekin PD, Tremont PD (all rural PD units ID as "Town"+"unit #")
