Durham Regional Police

[Rasa]

Someone told me that its not possible to hear durham police because they keep on changing their algorithm or soemthing like that.so there is no scanner out yet that can pick it up..so what system are they usin?are they encrypted or something? wats with fire and ems in durham?
also how is it possible to pick up walkie talkie frequencies e.g costco etc..i went out into the costco parkin lot and tried close call on my 396..i didnt really pick up anything.do i have to give CC some time or what?thanks

I'm pretty sure they're on IDen so it's un-monitorable. I'm sure others can chime in with a better explanation.

There is also this simplex freq. which means you would have to be within range of the transmitting handheld.

You have to have a scanner that can pick up ident and I don't know of any scanner that can pick it up.

Does ident use cell phone frequencies or just other truck radio system using digital modulation other than P25 like province radio system?

Ident is short for Indentification and is a department usually associated with a police department.

IDEN is what Durham Regional PS uses and it's what the Telus MIKE system is.

Does ident use cell phone frequencies

No, it' uses the regular SMR frequencies.

or just other truck radio system

You mean like Freightliner or Mack?

 

[nec208]

No, it' uses the regular SMR frequencies.

Do you have the frequencies?

You mean like Freightliner or Mack?

No I mean is it just like other modulation like province or P25? And are there on a trunk radio system or not?

IDEN is what Durham Regional PS uses and it's what the Telus MIKE system is.

But is Telus MIKE system trunk radio system or cell system out side the cell phone band?

 

[rhutch]

Do you have the frequencies??

They're SMR frequecies all the stuff is digital and unmonitorable by normal hobbiest monitoring equipment.

No I mean is it just like other modulation like province or P25? And are there on a trunk radio system or not??

province??? Like Ontario, or do you mean Provoice? The answer is its Iden.

But is Telus MIKE system trunk radio system or cell system out side the cell phone band?

Like he said already its SMR which are cell phone frequencies, It's not a trunked system.

 

[mikewazowski]

Like he said already its SMR which are cell phone frequencies, It's not a trunked system.

No, I didn't say that.

SMR (Specialized Mobile Radio or something like that) is roughly 851-869Mhz.

Cellular is 869-894Mhz.

Thats see APCO-25, VSELP, AEGIS, and Pro-Voice all different digital Modulation ..

Is Iden digital modulation ? Are they on a trunk radio system or not?

IDEN is a trunking system.
