Clearview & Springwater Fire Issues

[msdscanners]

Hey All,

Having some difficulties with programming for Clearview & Springwater Fire. They have changed frequencies and Tone Out for calls, but the RadioReference database entries are not working. I don't know if they have changed system types or something, but I've put it in my BCD536HP and no luck.

I know the actual truck radio, etc have changed to DMR which I have and I can hear still, no problem. But the pageouts are no longer working.

The one thing I see that I don't understand is the "Input" under recent updated frequencies under Simcoe County. Anyone know how it works?

Springwater changed July 15 and Clearview Fire changed August 20. In the actual database the input part is not even in the programming for FreeScan or Sentinel. Anyone know a fix for this or why they won't work?


Under All Identified Frequencies In Simcoe County

Frequency	Input	Description	System/Category	Tag	Updated
159.405000	169.95000	Fire - Dispatch	Clearview	Fire Dispatch	2020:08:20

Under Simcoe County

Frequency	License	Type	Tone	Alpha Tag	Description	Mode	Tag
152.61500	VEQ708	F	173.8 PL	Springwater FS	Fire - Dispatch	FMN	Fire Dispatch

Try listening without a PL tone for them.. They could of changed tones.

Clearview is definitely correct in the Database. I logged a page on there at 0757 this morning.

Haven't heard a Springwater page or actual call for a few days now but I'm pretty sure the Database is correct for them as well. I'll see if I can hear a call today.

Don't worry about the inputs, they're only needed for transmitting.

Just spoke to Springwater Fire today and they have changed pagers, it's now digital. A lot of them are going that route.

1830 test page shows a new ctcss tone of 94.8hz. I'll correct the database.

Awesome, thank you Mike.

You can always use sinirji to track calls for any fire department dispatched by Barrie Fire. Sinirji 911 LIVE | Live Events List for Barrie Fire and Emergency Service

Yeah, already use it, but no way for specific areas.
