Hello, I would like to listen to Ems on Analog scanner on frequencies 141.630 and 141.405

But I noticed that police also uses those frequencies, and since they are digital all I hear is loud noise.

So is there something I can do to fix that? I have a BC895XLT.

Like maybe a PL tone or something..

Thanks

Look for the vehicular repeater frequencies. All UHF and you can even get to police if they're close by... Other than that, you'd have to go digital...

So let's say I have a digital scanner. Now I only want to listen to Ambulance and not the police. But they are using the same frequencies, What do I do now? Do I have to listen to both of them on the same Digital frequency? Or is there a way to program it so I can only hear Ems in Digital?

Ambulance repeater: 413.7625
Police repeater: 413.5375

Digital: Ambulance: 141.630, 141.405
Digital Police: 141.630, 141, 405

Now I'm pretty sure there's a way to listen to only the EMS, and not the police.

I hope you understand, Thanks for your time..

If you have digital, all you would have to do is just lock out the police talkgroups. On analog it would be as simple as not programming them in. There's lots of action from the OPP around here, why wouldn't you want to listen to them?

You're missing is the fact that the frequencies are part of a trunking system.

The OPP, MNR, MTO, MOH and others all share those VHF frequencies.

Since they're on all on a trunking system, theybuse virtual channels called talkgroups.

You would be better off buying a scanner that supports VHF trunking and can separate out the traffic based on the talkgroups.

If all you want to listen to is MOH, then you don't need digital at all. MOH is analog on the system.

You just need a trunking scanner.

Head over to the wiki and read up on trunking. That will give you a better understand of the system.

If you do purchase a scanner with trunking that supports digital, then you'll be able to listen to the OPP as well.

Yes I have a trunking analog scanner, BC895XLT. And I would like to set it up for EMS. That's what I want to do. Where do I get that info? the talkgroups and all?

I looked in radioreference but could not find kirkland lake ems talkgroups.

Unfortunately you need a scanner that does VHF trunking. Pretty sure that old 895 only does 800 Mhz trunking.

The talkgroups would be under the Bell Mobility Radio Fleetnet Zone 3 system.

Yeap I beleive you're right. Thanks..

Yeap I beleive you're right. Thanks..

I use 2 780XLT's for ambulance paging and talkgroups, and anolouge fire freqencies. You have to program Fleetnet and then lock out all the digital talkgroups as they come up.You can get 780's, 785's etc... very reasonably these days.
