Need help programming A RS p-90 for london ON use

[magpupu2]

I just received a used P-90 from a relative from a different province. I started to manually add channels to it and it is receiving fine. The problem is when I try to add trunked frequencies. I am a total noob when it comes to scanning and I understand that I won't be able to listen to digital transmissions.

But as I have read somewhere, I should still be able to program Public safety frequencies and here EMS at least.

Yeah, with that older radio you wont get a WHOLE lot
County Fire
Elgin Fire
St.Thomas Police
EMS Pagers
OPP/MTO/MNR/EMS/Jail repeater channels
And for the trunked system (Fleetnet)
The MTO snow plows in the winter, corrections whenever they use their fleetnet radios 9iv never herd them)
and EMS.

You are programming this all by hand?
This is the system for EMS

Bell FleetNet - Ontario Provincial Government Zone 1 Trunking System, Southwest Zone, Ontario - Scanner Frequencies

You would really only want one tower for london
Site 18 Byron. And just the london ems talkgroups


Check this page for programming

the problem i am having is that the frequency on the link is around 141 but on the manual it said it will only take from 851 up

The PRO-90 a.k.a. BC-235XLT is THE original Trunktracker I scanner which
cannot do Moto trunked systems on anything other than 800MHz (not even
900MHz), so therefore is no good for VHF/UHF systems including Fleetnet.
The BC-245XLT would have worked, and also has EDACS, though that mode
is on rapid decline. Looks like you may need something newer/better, or
live with severe restrictions on what you can listen to.
