cobourg police.

[haller212]

i am wondering if anyone knows if cobourg police have upgraded their police radio's and have gone to a new frequency? i am currently using 410.68750 as their frequency but as of today the frequency doesn't talk anymore.

 

[kirk23]

didn't Cobourg Police & Fire move to T/G's on the Fleetnet zone 2 system a few years ago?
It's in the database

 

[wheelerg]

Yes they are zone 2 fleetnet

There is 2 channels listed in the Database for them.

410.2875 PL 156.7 Police - FleetNet Mobile Repeater 1
410.6875 PL 186.2 Police - FleetNet Mobile Repeater 2

Maybe they're using the other channel, and maybe they're out of range of where you're listening from. They are mobile repeaters which usually only have a few km range.

Or if you have the capability, why not just listen to them on the trunked fleetnet system then you won't have to worry about the mobile repeaters.

i know that the police where looking at getting rid of the fleetnet system and go with a different radio system. i just wondered as my scanner only uses the repeater frequencies. i just wondered if anyone had noticed they changed or anything??

Radio System To replace FleetNet $175,000 (2016) found in cobourg council meetings minutes

Wonder if the mean 'replace Fleetnet' or 'replace Fleetnet radios'... I've heard Bell is telling customers they will need to replace any legacy gear in order to keep up with Fleetnet upgrades. $175k seems pretty cheap for a new radio system, although they could likely swing a TRBO or NXDN system for that.

Ah, well there you go then. Thanks for posting that! Boy, Owen Sound is really cleaning up in the dispatch business!

I wouldn't be suprised to see a MotoTRBO system then if they are going with Turris.

Can someone, close by, check Cobourg's old channel, 142.485. I seem to be getting the inversion data bursts, that is insync with Cobourg's 142.245 channel.

 

[randyf]

so i should buy that dmr key from uniden , pdq to keep listening to fire in the county

Probably MotoTRBO for the county wide system but I can't say for sure nor can we know yet if it will be encrypted or clear for fire, police we can expect encryption but fire and works hard to say.

 

[slicerwizard]

there are numerous digitally capable towers located throughout the county

Damn. Are there still tower sites out there using analog electricity?


The Fire Service have been told by Cobourg Police that they also wish to move away from the Fleetnet system and purchase a similar system that Port Hope Police are using.

Aren't PHPD using analog? So CPD want analog? Seems odd.

 

[bigcam406]

Port Hope is using analogue inversion.dont need much for small towns like Coburg and Port Hope.

 

[Jammin_Jay]

I wouldn't be surprised if they start using DMR radio system.
It seems that is the popular transistion these days to a digital system.
If cobourg goes conventional, it won't be analog, it just means they want a stand alone system
Like port hope, not necessarily the current voice inversion that port hope uses.
I find switching to 3 different methods in 5 or 6 years is a waste of money and time.

 

[sirsmiley]

Port Hope has been digital for some years.....its not analog.

 

[bigcam406]

i guess the database needs to be updated then.

 

[haller212]

i have noticed today that someone has put an unkown database at frequency 422.350. I am trying it to see if this is Cobourg police or not. I will let you all know if I find it or not.
