    Zip Code question

    N4KVE, just for your information as a fellow Canadian - if you're asked for a ZIP code for a Canadian credit or debit card, the way to make it go through is to enter the numbers only (ignoring the letters) of the postal code followed by 00. Using the postal code you mentioned, H4W 2C8, you...

    TAFL stands for Technical and Administrative Frequency List, however, it has been recently replaced with the Spectrum Management System. You can find the official lists here: Spectrum Management System Data - Spectrum Management System Or for a nicer, more user-friendly way to search them...

    Canadian Radio Programming

    No license is required, but you do have to hold the license (or be authorized by the licensee) for any frequencies you program. For example, if you are programming for your fire department, you need the permission of the person that holds the license for your fire department. You can look this...

    MOL Problems

    I've never seen a company make it so hard for me to give them money than Motorola. It took me quite a while to get accounts set up and now it seems like my accounts may be messed up or something. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I log into Motorola Business Online and try to submit...

    Repeater Network Set-up Advice Wanted

    I'd also suggest that your team gets their amateur radio (ham radio) licenses as well as a lot of Canwarn stuff is done via amateur radio.

    Repeater Network Set-up Advice Wanted

    Are you thinking analog or digital (e.g. DMR/MotoTRBO, P25, etc.)? I'm thinking that this will be a very expensive endeavor. I'd suggest re-evaluating the plan of putting up a single repeater. My storm chasing team uses two Canada-wide frequencies in simplex mode (no repeater) and that works...

    uhf radio license

    I've done this for myself. To apply for a Canadian radio license, all you need to do is go to the Industry Canada Spectrum Management System (SMS) website at https://sms-sgs.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/sms-sgs-prod.nsf/eng/home. You'll first need to register for an account with Industry Canada (IC) on...

    Ontario Provincial Police - Niagara Detachment

    You can't put these frequencies into a DMR radio because they aren't DMR. They're Motorola Type II SmartNet, which is a completely different type of system. You'll need to get a compatible scanner to monitor it.

    Motorola XPR5550 GPS - PMAN4002A

    Thanks Mr_Boh, I was unsure whether it was just a standard antenna or something proprietary to Motorola. Your post helps a lot! Thanks again.

    Motorola XPR5550 GPS - PMAN4002A

    Hi all, Does anyone know about using an external GPS antenna for a Motorola XPR 5550? I've ordered a PMAN4002A from Motorola, however, it appears that the order was lost (probably due to their recent ERP system upgrade) so I'm trying to get that dealt with. I'm just wondering if there are any...

    MD380 and TRBOwest

    When do you get this "Radio ID Unknown" message and where do you see it? Is it in your programming software or on the radio itself? If on the radio, when does it happen (for example, only when you press the PTT?)

    Baofeng 888s not receiving any transmissions

    You'll definitely want to look at, and update, the programming on both radios. If I recall correctly, these radios come with programmed frequencies that require licenses. Using these radios on frequencies you're not authorized to use is illegal and can interfere with legitimate users (which...

    Gmrs repeater in Ottawa channel 22

    As it announced itself, did it announce a call sign or other identifier? That would help track it down in terms of where it is and how it has been licensed.

    Gmrs repeater in Ottawa channel 22

    As far as I know GMRS repeaters are still not permitted in Canada but I will see if I can verify this with Industry Canada. Perhaps it might be actually in the United States?

    New Radio Owner Questions

    I hold a few business band licenses in Canada and, from my experience, they're only $41 per radio per year. They do have Canada-wide itinerant frequencies which are limited to 5 watts. More information on their fees can be found on their website at RIC-42. I just obtained a Canada-wide...
