    Foothills Medical Centre Calgary **NEW** DMR/ DMR T3 system

    Hi all... I was searching in the 420's yesterday and logged more DMR than usual. It seems that Foothills Medical Centre has switched from the MPT-1327 analog system they have been using for 20ish years to a new DMR system. (I will ask for and update to the Foothills MPT-1327 site to be changed...

    Calgary Airport Authority Tetra TRS Status

    Thanks Robertmac! The system is still operational - I was just having a problem getting my Uniden's to un-squelch on that Tetra signal - the GRE ones seem to be able to detect it much better, not sure why. My SDR is seeing the signal just fine. Now I just need to get the Tetra plugin working -...

    P25 on Business Frequencies - Rochester Area

    Hi K2HZ... We are still using 15 Khz channel spacing on VHF hi band up here, so the closest Frequency to 150.2475 would be 150.245. A run down of Canadian licensees from Ontario on 150.245 MHz shows only 2 - both located no where near New York state and both running 16K0F3E. But...we can't...

    Calgary Airport Authority Tetra TRS Status

    Hi all... I have my SDR dongle up and running - wanting to do some Tetra decoding and noticed that I don't seem to be getting a signal from the 2 Calgary Airport Authority Tetra repeaters anymore (856.2625 and 864.2125). Anyone know the Status of the system? Have they switched to PoC or Airtel...

    Callsign "Pass Code" - Westjet Encore use

    Thanks for the info ATCTech! Mystery solved! (y) I logged Pasco 3014, 3047 and 3000 (again) on ATC frequencies last night at my listening time. Spanky15805 - As for the ST units - are they "Sweeper Trucks?" If so, yes I have logged them asking for permission to work runways and taxi ways...

    Callsign "Pass Code" - Westjet Encore use

    I've logged "Passcode" callsigns both on ATC Frequencies and 131.650 Company frequency (WestJet). Last night I logged Passcode 3000 working company dispatch on 131.650 with flight details - It's a Calgary to Lethbridge flight so pretty close. I thought that I heard them using Encore with the...

    Callsign "Pass Code" - Westjet Encore use

    Hello air fans! I've been logging WestJet Encore aircraft using the call sign "Pass Code" or "Passcode" along with their flight number for a while now. I'm located in Calgary Alberta Canada - WestJet's headquarters city (YYC). ICAO document 8585 lists out what is approved for use and I see that...

    Rocky View County Repeaters

    Hi all... I had noticed that the listings for the County of Rocky View (Alberta), Infrastructure & Operations have been depreciated - Specifically the 2 public works repeaters (153.770 & 156.120). I hadn't heard anything on them for quite a while, but I just logged 153.770 PL. 100.0 loud and...

    BCD436HP performance scanning non-RCMP AFRRCS activity?

    Echoing what Jay has said. I own a 536 as well and they work really well for AFRRCS. He is spot on with sites as well - I usually only monitor 1 or 2 at a time depending on my location. Antenna is key as well. I had a VHF/UHF ham antenna and switched to one cut for 700/800 MHz and greatly...

    It tracks Hytera Tier III okay, but not Moto Capacity Max Tier III

    Hi all...I've been experimenting and have finally got DSD+ working. Here is what I have found: The BCD325P2 IS having problems with RAS. It is decoding, just really slowly and it misses many quick transmissions and sometimes makes errors by displaying the wrong TG. You can monitor the RAS...

    462.725 MHz DMR Repeater Calgary

    Update... Not hearing the 462.725 MHz repeater lately, but I continue to log the input (467.725 MHz) around the CP Alyth yard area of Calgary in simplex mode. Logged clear voice this morning using Color Code 8, so not the same the same user as above (CC 11, encrypted). Details: CC 8, Slot 1...

    Utilicom Technologies Ltd - Hytera XPT DMR Wide area trunk

    I logged the Stampede using Wi-Com 800 MHz Cap + DMR rentals this year for about half their communications - as well as their own Analog Motorola system. The few vendors on site using trunked rentals where on the 800 MHz Caltronics LTR system. I guess Utilicom Technologies could aiming to...

    New Security frequencies

    Hi! I'm not from Regina, but seeing as how no one is responding to your question, I can tell you that in my home town (Calgary) a huge amount of traffic is now going over to PTT on LTE (Some term it "PoC" - Push to talk over Cellular). Its a push to talk service with low(ish) monthly rates and...

    Calgary Municipal Radio Network

    Just logged "Red 3" doing radio checks with CFD dispatch on P25 group 64016. Sounds like Pro-Tec fire/YYC emergency services. Could this be the "new" A6?
