Do any of you guys have any info on these guys? I have not heard anything when in the area, but I usually am down in the South Shwa at night after they have finished shifts.

TAFL shows these licenses, but they are really old:

Last time I was there (4-5 years ago) they were all using telus's iDen system. Security, engineers, plant managers, etc. Essentially anyone who wasn't doing a repetitive task had a mike phone.

re: GM Oshawa

the 464.6875 freq is for Gm alpha-numeric pagers
don't remember what mode but if youve got a disc. tapped scanner and the software, check em out
i'm sure there are more interesting paging freqs in the 931Mhz band to monitor though : )

Even before the iDEN radios were used at GM the UHF radio traffic from the plant was not very interesting
only 462.1625 which was plant fire/ security ops was worth monitoring
any big calls went out over Oshawa fire and ems
It was also intermod hell in south oshawa back then !
On the other hand UHF 450 to 470 in Oshawa is practically a ghost town now except for some low power and industrial users.
