Did something change with London's EMS channels?

[Sum_Guy]

I'm just wondering if the EMS channels for London / Middlesex have changed?

Local users have confirmed some London EMS channels have moved over - sounds like it's going channel by channel. You can keep up to date with the progress by monitoring the discussion thread:

PSRN General Discussion

I'll keep an eye out for London North.

So, the channels have moved - but not become encrypted?

They're encrypted.

The talkgroups on the new system are encrypted as is the 700 MHz vehicle repeater channels too.

I don't hear any pages on the VHF pager frequency either

The VHF pager freq appears to have been abandoned once they migrate. It looks like London migrated a TG every few hours. London West was early in the morning with london city 1 and East etc migrating about every 2 hours.

it looks like the DVRS frequencies have also changed the NAC when in encrypted mode. I will work on getting the new NACs.

My understanding is they all got new pagers too. Any idea what they are using for pagers now?

As of May 8th Middlesex EMS switched over. Scanners are quiet. Tried adding the new codes and still silent. Has anyone looked into this?

These were recently updated on RadioReference. I tried them, but no go

Look at this thread. There may be some additional info on what is happening.

What is left to listen to???

With the big changeover to PSRN now unfolding across the province, that leaves me with an honest question. Besides taxi cabs, school buses, the garbage guys and the old marine/aviation/rail bands, what, exactly of interest is there left to listen to then? Is the hobby really dying, time to...

EMS services on PSRN are encrypted.
