216 - 224 MHz
I have a Uniden BC246T, when I search for freqs there is always none active in the range of 216MHz to 224MHz. Even when I go to Sothern Ontario, nothing. Airports freqs in the 200s are either below or above my scanner's range. So why bother having this range in the scanner? Who / what agency uses this freq range to communicate in Ontario.
Please advise. Thank you.

Marine Phones and a little MilSatCom. If you were looking for the best way to bore your self to death, this would be the way to do it. I have searched this area because it is right at the bottom of the MilAir Band. Two Hits in many many years.

I did a range search from a Timmins postal code on TAFL and the closest transmitter site to Timmins is Sudbury Hydro which sends out Telemetry in the 220's but they are over 200 Kms away 
You are out of luck up there.  |

Let me know.

Robin/Ralph, what a coincidence that both of you would post almost the same message word for word within 3 minutes of each other on here and Scanont? Almost makes me wonder if you are the same person? You both seem to also share the same IP address. Another coincidence?
Amateurs in Canada are permitted to use 219-225Mhz.
There are other users but I don't think you'll find much activity in Ontario.
