đź“» Analog Ears Only: A Friendly Survival Guide to Public Safety Radio in Rock, Dane, and Winnebago Counties
Daniel Conderman 
Welcome to your analog gateway into the behind-the-scenes life of southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois — where fire departments still tone out on old-school pagers, county road crews battle snow like grizzled veterans, and school districts wrangle buses on dusty UHF channels.
This document is your comprehensive guide to non-digital, non-encrypted, analog scanner frequencies for Rock County (WI), Dane County (WI), and Winnebago County (IL). Whether you’re a hobbyist, a storm spotter, a road warrior, or just someone who likes to hear what’s really going on around town, this is your map to the stuff you can actually tune in and understand — no trunking decoders, digital scanners, or P25 magic required.
🚨 What’s Included?
This guide excludes all digital-only or encrypted channels. Why?
Because if someone intentionally encrypts their communications or uses a high-end digital trunked system, it’s pretty clear they don’t want to be overheard. That’s their business — and honestly, the interesting stuff happens on analog anyway. You want to hear where the potholes are. You want to know why the fire truck’s screaming down your street. You want to listen in when a middle school janitor tries to find a mop for the science wing.
Included are:
- Police, Fire, EMS (analog only)
- Highway & road crews
- School buses and school operations
- Public works departments
- Jail and detention center channels
From tactical channels still in use to backup pagers and car-to-car talk, this is everything analog and useful — lovingly filtered from mountains of reference sources so you don’t have to dig through a swamp of encrypted and unscannable noise.
🎧 Scanner Etiquette and the Law
Before you turn that dial and settle in with a warm cup of static, here are some quick ground rules:
- Listen only. Seriously. These frequencies are for monitoring, not chatting.
- Do not interfere. Even if you have a radio capable of transmitting on these bands, it is illegal to do so without the appropriate license or authority.
- Be discreet. What you hear on a scanner might include private or sensitive moments (like medical calls or emergencies). Don’t post recordings or details unless it’s public info.
That said, there’s a little-known (but very important) clause from the FCC:
“You may use any means necessary to call for help in an emergency if no other option is available.”
FCC Part 97.403 – Safety of Life and Protection of Property
So yes — in a true emergency, where no phones work, no 911 is reachable, and you have access to a transmitting radio… then you may legally use a frequency to request help. But that’s for life-and-death situations only. This isn’t your backup pizza order line.
🔧 How to Use This Info
- Find a scanner or radio that can tune VHF/UHF FM analog. Even basic handhelds (or apps with SDR dongles) will work for most of these.
- Look up your local area first — especially public works, fire/EMS, and any tactical police or school channels nearby. You’ll be surprised how busy even “quiet” towns are.
- Set PL/DPL tones if your scanner supports it. This filters out irrelevant traffic or nearby interference.
- Save a few key channels as favorites, like countywide paging, firegrounds, or DPW — these give you a constant pulse on what’s happening.
- Use weather events, parades, or community events to hear special event traffic or coordination that doesn’t hit the news.
📦 A Final Thought
This guide is about openness, community awareness, and good-old-fashioned curiosity. It’s not about spying. It’s not about stirring the pot. It’s about tuning into the rhythm of the world around you — from garbage trucks to fire tones to school buses trying to beat the bell.
If you’re wondering what’s happening in your town at 2 a.m. while plows are rumbling past or want to hear the fireground traffic during a big response, this is how you do it. You’re now equipped with a real-time, analog ear to the world.
Stay curious. Stay informed. And keep the squelch low.
Rock County, WI

County Jails & Detention
- No stand-alone analog channels for the Dane County Jail. All jail and courthouse security communications are on the county’s trunked system (Sheriff’s P25 talkgroups). (Sheriff’s analog tactical channels are noted in the Police section above for any backup use.)
School Districts & School Buses
- (None) – Nearly all Dane County school districts have migrated to digital radio systems or contracted services.
