CBSA Freq's

Any "current" frequencies in use for the CBSA in Lansdowne?

Or advise on where to search? 165 MHz??

In my experience they are typically UHF low... 410-412 area.

Thank you,

Will do a search.

FWIW here in windsor once the new RCMP system was up all the old CBSA frequency's went silent so this will likely be the scenario in other areas as the RCMP system comes online

Thank you,

I have been scanning the 165-168 and 411-413 range and not hearing much. But I am a good 25km from the border crossing.

I would extend that down to at least 410Mhz.

Perhaps you should try 410-411MHz (ones I know of are 410.3875, 410.4625) and
the 162.6-164MHz range (I vaguely recall something in there).

You can also look at Industry Canada TAFL (Licensee Name or other search):

I know at the airports in Toronto they are on the trunk systems.. at pearson they are on the new P25.. they were on the Peel system.. at Bishop they are on the Cap+ TRBO system. (I think.. they have moto radios)

CBSA at border crossings use low power TAIT UHF portables (408Mhz) for 99% of comms. The Odd time if they have to chase or com with near by crossings they will use a UHF MPT-1327 comercial system (as they do in Niagara) They also have access to the RCMP system (for joint opps).

Just curious, does Canada Customs have any direct radio comms with US Customs?

The IBET radio system, shared between rcmp , us border patrol, and both us and canadian customs.
i have a lengthy info article on it, if you want to private ,msg me.

THEY actually have a body (board) that maintains and implements the system, made up
of canadian and us officials.

They used to have interoperability issues in the past, but for the most part this has bern fixed.
This means the connection between the current canadian agency radios rcmp, customs, canadian coast guard with that of us border patrol radio system, customs, and us coast guard.

These radio systems are encrypted, p25. And most comms you will be lucky to hear in the clear is when a us border patrol connects interopt to a county sherrif or state patrol on a non encypted radio system by interopt patch.

rcmp radio system has talkgroups, for interoperability, between can and us systems. So the usbp, and rcmp would communicate on a system with a tg or channel designated for that specific reason between the 2 agencies.

Policing more than 5,200 miles of border has its challenges. The greatest challenge—beyond the remoteness, the lack of infrastructure, and the sheer size of the task—is that line of demarcation drawn on the map. For law enforcement in both Canada and the United States, that line has long been a barricade to effective cooperation. It establishes two distinct countries, two governments, two sets of laws, and myriad bureaucratic and legal encumbrances that hinder each country’s ability to effectively enforce its respective customs and border enforcement mandates.

CBSA IS 425.687

Does anyone have the CBSA 10 code?

Freq for Cbsa lansdowne is 425.687 or 410.437

Is there somewhere where there is a "Master List" of CBSA frequencies (ideally - sorted by region). I checked the County Wide Section on the Database with negative results.

If not - where would one go about locating these frequencies?
