The new DIGITAL UHF channels have started with the Chicago Fire Department. The city is testing and adjusting the new and upgraded equipment for this MAJOR system upgrade. The old VHF-Analog channels will be upgraded to the UHF- Digital frequencies. To be able to monitor the new C.F.D. digital frequencies,you will need a DIGITAL scanner.A UHF scanner that you now have, will NOTwork! It must be a DIGITAL scanner!!
The ChicagoCivilDefense.org website, (ChicagoFD.org) is providing the new digital UHF channels on this website. Depending on how the O.E.M.C. handles the switch over from the old VHF-Analog frequencies to the new UHF-Digital frequencies, we will provide both VHF-Analog and the new UHF-Digital channels on the website server, until the upgrade is final and all problems have been worked out!
