Hey all! Does anyone know the freqs for Blue Line, and Yellow cab in Hamilton. Also what type of systems does Hamilton Cab use? I looked up those other 2 on Industy Canada site and one the frequencies I got all I hear on the is a chopping sound. Thanks

I only saw 454.2625 used for Hamilton Cab. Looks like a stand-alone , rather than part of a system.
Blue Line had 451.6125 ,462.4625 ,462.8375 listed .
Hamilton Yellow Cab had 461.6125 ,463.0750 ,463.5750 listed.

Which freq. and which company had the "chopping sound" ?

Hamilton Cab N/A Taxi Service 454.2625 459.2625 PL 103.5
Hamilton Cab N/A Taxi Service 454.3375 459.3375 CSQ
Hamilton Yellow Cab N/A Taxi Service 463.5750 468.5875 CSQ

There is another taxi company on 453.1625/458.1625 with a PL of 67.0. I haven't been able to figure out what company this is. Doing a look up on the TAFL show that the frequency is licensed to Glentel (a radio rental company). Those are the ones that I have verified being used.. Blue Line looks like they use data terminals for dispatching as on all those of the fequencies listed have some type of data tone.

I had 451.6125 listed to Blue Line Transportation on Industry Canada, and that is the one where I hear the "chopping sound".

Forgive me as I am new to this but I've noticed alot of you refer to TAFL, what may I ask is this.
Thanks

That is Blue Line Cab as well as the other 2 that Mike posted.. the chopping sound is a data signal that is used for the terminals in the cabs that they use for dispatching.

Industry Canada administers telecom and freq. allocation. Spectrum Direct has an on-line data base to search known as Technical and Administrative Frequency Lists. (TAFL)

I'll put up a link and you can explore : http://sd.ic.gc.ca/engdoc/main.jsp

also when Spectrum Direct's site is unavailable , you may wish to keep this one handy (copy-cat site)
