TD Coliseum (Hamilton)

[mbstone99]

Copps Coliseum is re-opening soon with Paul McCartney being the opening act on the Nov 21st. They have installed a new radio system, a Cap+ to replace the single DMR repeater they used to use with 1 only on TG active 99% of the time.

451.9375 LCN 1 CC 8
453.5375 LCN 2 CC 9

I have seen TG 1- 6, 8, 11, 24 & 30 with most of the activity right now on TG 4 and 30.

I lived across from Copps many, many years ago and during concerts, I would search for wireless mic's and other wireless goodies. Found quite a bit of stuff.

 

[mbstone99]

This is what I have been identified that has been active today.

TG 4 - maybe security.. a few days ago they where walking around keying up trying to find a missing radio. LOL
TG 9 - sounds like ushers.. talking about tours/uniforms for new hires and something about pulling the curtains
TG 30 - sounds like the docks/shipping and receiving type talk.

TG 11 I heard today someone calling Housekeeping.

I logged but I missed the transmissions on TG 255. I am guessing this would be an All Call?

And TG 4 I am hearing talk about a request about moving the stairs in front of the stage.. so maybe it's productions?

I heard RID #213 say she was going to hang out on what she called "EVENT MANAGERS CHANNEL " and later was called on TG 4 so we might eventually change this from security.

I imagine as the "Paul McCartney $billion dollar tour opens on Friday there will be more activity and im 3 blocks away.

 

[mbstone99]

So for the talkgroups we have heard so far.

1 Unknown
2 Unknown
3 Unknown
4 Events Managers
5 Unknown
6 Unknown
7 Unknown
8 Unknown
9 Ushers
11 Housekeeping
30 Security
255 I am guessing All-Call?

Matt

255 is the default TG for MotoTRBO All Call TG's on Cap+

 

[XBrandonEdwardX]

255 is the default TG for MotoTRBO All Call TG's on Cap+

This is correct! Each Capacity Plus (CAP+) site can have talkgroups from 1-254. 255 is reserved as the default "All Call" and cannot be changed no matter how hard you try.

Furthermore, radio IDs can range from 1-65535.

On a side note, I have also heard radio commercials down here in Niagara Falls advertising the "TD Coliseum" and some of their upcoming shows. So, they are spending a good chunk of money. Not only did the renovations cost a ton, but they got a new radio system with radios, and now advertising.

I have no doubt in my mind those close enough to listen will be able to decode this system in no time.

That would make sense as in Ontario Security Guards are required to have their first aid certifications. So, chances are their security team is also their on-site medical team. However, I am sure during hockey games, concerts, etc... they will have some kinda' medical service like St. John Ambulance or Odyssey Medical Inc. who have the abilities to treat bigger problems.

If you heard "Yondr bag," that is a thing for cell phones. It's primarily used in some schools in the United States, not so much here in Canada. Essentially, you put your phone in the bag, and it gets closed by some kind of locking mechanism at the top. It is supposed to make the classroom—or in this case, the business—a phone free zone.

They have bunch of information about the products on their website: About — Yondr.

Hmm I am hearing security also being called on TG 1. I wonder if one is for events and the other building. I will have to listen to the St John Ambulance frequency when the Paul McCartney event happens but I am not sure if I am too far away. That is exactly what I heard on with the Yondr bags and from what I am hearing TG 5 almost sounds like an Event Promotions channel.. they where talking around wristbands.

TG 6 sounds like maybe Gates Security, they are talking about meeting each other at a Gate and coverage at a gate.

I checked the TD Coliseum's web page and don't see anything referenced to Sock & Sword on there unless it's the new name for either the Event Level Club or Loge Club. So I believe with the TG we have heard. The ones with the *'s are the ones I am pretty sure are correct.

*1 Control
2 ?
3 ?
*4 Event Managers/Engineering/Maintenance
5 Promotions/Premium (not 100% sure with this one yet)
*6 Gates
*7 Medical
8 ?
*9 Ushers
*11 Housekeeping
*30 Security
*255 All Call

and just now on the Ushers Channel (TG 9) I just heard a call that the person controlling one of the elevators was sleeping.

Iron Crowd Public House or The Iron Cow Public House depending on which article you read.

Ive never been in Copps, dont know any of what was inside or what they have now.

 

[EJB]

From listening today TG 11 is the Housekeeping channel.
RID 128 & 134 referred to themselves as SOCK & 126 is Sword Supervisor.

I'll do some more recording tomorrow. I'm not sure the range of this system. I'm 3 blocks away with height..

I wont be in the Hammer until around 18 or 1900 hrs on Friday. If anyone wanted to monitor this system in person, I'm free on Friday night.
