I'm moving from Texas to Chicago in a few weeks (I'll be living in the
city, not one of the suburbs). I assumed that the Public Service (PD,
Fire, EMS, etc.) in a city of that size would have to be trunked. But,
while I was there on a pre-move visit a couple of weeks ago, I called
a local Rat Shack, and the clerk told me that only the Illinois State
Police is trunked.

Is this information accurate? If so, what type of trunk-tracking
scanner do I need to buy to pick up the S.P. (and the C.P.D. / C.F.D.,
etc., if necessary)? I know that there's more than one type of
trunking system in use today, but beyond that, I'm a clueless newbie.

Thanks!

Paul
