Hello everbody, I just recently got a scanner and have started to play around with it. I'd first like to say thanks for the great database by RR of frequencies in my area (toronto).
I have been listening to a few of the channels and I am having some trouble understanding what I'm hereing.
First some channels just sound like there is a loud disel truck transmitting it's engine noise 24/7, is this a control channel?
The second is sometimes I'll be listening to chatter and then a ringing sound will come on, like you would here after you dial a # into a phone. Is it possible to make a regular phone call from a 2-way radio, and if so how do they do it?
Thanks!
