Grundy Lake Provincial Park

[Landy90]

Hi everyone

I will be going to a Grundy Lake Provincial Park this summer and I'm wondering what their frequency are? I have had a look and I couldn't seem to find it. I have seen the posts from 2016, but I presume the frequencies have changed. I have tried to listen in previous years on an analog scanner but I figured they'd have gone digital.

For reference, I have an SDS100 am fairly new to the digital scanner world.

If anyone could help I would appreciate it, thanks.

I’d throw everything listed here TAFL Search Results in my scanner.

To the best of my knowledge, most parks are still operating lowband with very few exceptions.

Awesome, thank you!

Hi all, so I am up here now. But I haven't heard anything on the frequencies. I set the modulation to AM would this be right? I have a SDS100.

That would be FM. AM is usually only used for aircraft.

Try Close Call near the Administration building at the park entrance where the maintenance vehicles are. You might get a hit.

Can you get a picture of the antenna on one of the park vehicles? If it's lowband, it will be about 8 feet long.

Sweet thanks

Don't forget to check 149.170/149.185/149.605/149.620 for P25.

Your Grundy Lake Provincial Park is likely on 46.540 and/or 46.760 also as stated, the VHF channels might also be used for P25 usage. Here's the license info for that park.

As well, all the MNR Lowband frequencies and associated PL tones are listed in the wikipedia pages. Please update if you can where applicable. Ministry of Natural Resources (ON) - The RadioReference Wiki on this page it's the RX Frequency listing which you'd listen for. The TX is the transmit frequency which you may also hear. But both sides should be on the RX .

As mentioned AM is generally used for aircraft communications. However, the aircraft/helicopter/fire frequencies on low band will be in FM mode.

Okay, so I'm going to try and cover everybody's comments. I greatly appreciate it. The vehicle antennas are pretty long, so I would assume they are not on a P25 network, but I could be wrong.

I have programmed all the frequencies that are on that site. And as I'm writing this, I just had something come through on my scanner. We have a breakthrough, lol

The signal is definitely very patchy and would point to them and not to use in any repeaters. I have a decent antenna, not the stock rubber ducky

That's great. Did you happen to catch which one of the frequencies was active?

It was one of the 46. It seems to be a very quick transmission. I was literally in the middle of writing the post, and in shock, I actually heard something, so I didn't catch the full frequency
