I live in Steger Illinois and can't seem to find the local police freq's. I have a old handheld but it won't do 800mhz which is what I was told they went to. I was also told that no scanner could be used to listen to them. Is this possible? I want a new scanner anyway but if I can't listen to my local police it seems useless. I can't even find out if it's trunked and if so what system they are using. any advice would help.
