    How can I fully mute the audio when needed?

    Like the OP, I have a 200 on my home office desk. When in a meeting or taking a call, I may need to make it silent for a bit. However I also have recording going on permanently so I would rather not power it off; it may record something interesting I want to review later. I have never...

    The only difference between the squads and engines (or pumps, depending on the era) was a name, to the best of my knowledge.

    CFD Apparatus status

    Could be, I don't recall for sure. 47 Engine used to be in with 14 but I think was renumbered either 60 or 61 during the pandemic.

    They were squads for decades and the only trucks that would move to other stations to cover gaps. I think a good long time back there were four of them, but one got dropped in the 90s or early 00s. I can't remember them for certain, but there used to be 08SQ, 12SQ, 16SQ, and I think 8 moved to...

    About 10-15 years ago there were two different numbering schemes tried out. The dual engine halls had the second engine get the suffix A, as @255-Jacobs mentions. Then, for a time, the dual engine halls had both trucks renumbered, labeled Engine 10-01, Engine 10-02, and similar for the other...

    TwoToneDetect New TwoToneDetect in the works - Python based

    Is there a setting within TTD (IAR version, if that matters) that causes it to stop listening for tones for a period of time when a tone is detected that is NOT in its list? Recently our comms/dispatch has changed from sending only our tone plus our voice alert message on our alerting channel...

    What are Unication pagers intended for?

    Back when the earth was still cooling and us volunteer firefighters were riding dinosaurs to fires, we carried pagers (or, sorry, "tone receivers") which were parked on the one analog frequency our department used, and had physical plug-in pieces that were tuned to our specific alerting tones...

    Location of up to date TAFL listing

    If you import that (the file from mciupa's reply) into Excel, there is one row that has a bad piece of data that will screw up the layout of the spreadsheet. It's in the Land Mobile data (so will show up if you download the Land Mobile or the All Services file). It's been there for at least a...

    If you mean the 1998 tandem-steer Bronto HLA, that's long, long gone.

    Those frequencies are licensed to Banker's Hall, but I haven't had a chance to track them myself.

    Those frequencies make sense. Is there one frequency making a constant data sound? It might even sound like 'wacka wacka' or a pac-man type sound effect. It's a relatively low speed control channel data stream. There are audio samples on this page. South Health Campus security seems to be on...

    New CAP plus Calgary

    I recall being told by an ISED rep - admittedly up to 10 years ago, can't recall exactly when - that the southern AB region was "full", as in no allocations available in the LMR bands. This was in response to me asking for two simplex UHF frequencies for my FD. I imagine things have improved...

    Didn't get a chance to go near site 2, but I did see site 4 today. Submitted updates to DB.

    New DMR T3 in Calgary

    My SDS100 accepted the high LCNs for Site 2 without any issues but I wasn't near that site recently, so I don't know if it's working or not. Like I said, I will try to hit the city next week some time and see what I can find. I should also point out we have another XPT system in the area which...

    What device are you listening on and what are you using for LCNs?

    New DMR T3 in Calgary

    I haven't spent a lot of time in the city this week. I picked up site 4 (on an SDS100) when I was on the periphery the other day, but no voice. When I ran LCN finder, it only found one LCN out of two channels, and saved it as LCN 1, which I'm reasonably sure won't be right. I may be in the city...

    The LCNs that worked for me on my SDS100 were half that of the ones that have been posted. Actually if I recall correctly, you divide by two and then subtract 1. If your scanner only accepts 3 digits, maybe you can't program that site - I've only set up my SDS100 and SDS200 via Sentinel. As...

    I actually heard someone say "Chumir Security to Maintenance" on 302 or 303, so I think the 300s are probably Chumir.

    Anyone know if there are still MPT1327 signals coming from RGH and PLC?
