The new DIGITAL UHF channels are coming soon to the Chicago Fire Department. The city is testing and adjusting the new and upgraded equipment for this MAJOR system upgrade. The old VHF channels will be upgraded to the UHF frequencies. To be able to monitor the new C.F.D. 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 also in the process of upgrading to be able to provide the new digital UHF channels on this website. Depending on how the O.E.M.C. handles the switch over from the old VHF frequencies to the new digital UHF frequencies, we might provide both old VHF and new digital UHF channels on the website server, until the upgrade is final and all problems have been adjusted and worked out!
