Latest MTO TG is Digital as seen by my BC296D ( P25 )

williams63 said:All ZONE 3 Sudbury TG's are Digital....at first it was "A" Mode...however mnr-mto and some testing with MOH is all Digital.
jellotor said:...well, if it's true it's a first for Fleetnet. Are you 100% sure that it wasn't, say, BMR techs operating in a digital mode on what would normally be an analog talkgroup?
Mike_Oxlong said:What's even stranger is that people are still submitting MTO Maintenance tg's to the database as analog.
jellotor said:Well, ok...I'm not in Sudbury and I'm in no position to dispute your claims but it seems strange that either Zone 3 in its entirety or just the Sudbury site is carrying P25 traffic for what would be analog users elsewhere. And again, you're 100% sure that it's not MNR, MTO enforcement or OPP or Spectrum?
williams63 said:Testing so far , is a Prov Common...in P25 mode...soon they will change , JAN 2006 is what my source at Spectrum can tell me.
williams63 said:BELL TECHS were never heard up here ( SUDBURY ) , Spectrum Communications did / does all the work.
Once the above Radio Techs were heard in Analog.
exkalibur said:It's a little late for that changeover, don'tcha think?
Prov Common (150.1000) will never go digital. There are too many non-MOH users that have access to that frequency for emergencies that aren't going to invest in digital.
Mike_Oxlong said:No, Spectrum Communications is a contractor for Bell Mobility. They will be heard on the regular channels testing the radios they have installed.
Bell Mobility Radio owns, maintains and commissions the system. I heard them talking on Digital 1 (16) when I was up there this summer.

As one of the few people in your area that can supply info for
Fleetnet, I would not say "good day to you" as well. In past,
some of your information reports have come off as a bit flakey,
but in all fairness, alot of this has been cleared up. You have to
expect people to be a bit skeptical of this latest development,
that it has just appeared without warning. If it pans out, you will
be able to claim to be the first to report it. All I can think of is a
pilot project for an all-digital Fleetnet. What puzzles me is why
up north, where frequency congestion is not so much a problem.
All-digital channels can be spaced closer, as long as there are
no analog users, which forces wider channel separation.
One possibility I thought of, is that your scanner is showing P25
all the time when some is actually analog (a malfunction)?. Does
the "digital" MTO and MOH have the characteristic digital sound?
And if you get the chance, perhaps look in a ambulance to catch
a look at the type of radio in use.
