163.7125 user in Ontario

[freqs]

I am in Michigan and picking up a Freq of 163.7125 (141.3 PL tone) seems to be School Buses. Any idea who may be using it?

That would be Sharp Bus Lines east of Windsor. Here is their license detail plus map: TAFL Licence Details

In Canada, we don't have 12.5 kHz spacing in that part of the VHF band so the true frequency is 163.71 MHz.

OK thank you. Another question, I am in the US north of Detroit. What is the system I want to monitor for any law enforcement from Ontario?
I get that most are Encrypted but is there anything? OPP, RCMP etc..

Pro tip: Have a look at the RRDB. Any time you see an uppercase "E" as the final character in the "mode" column this indicates full encryption (Be it DE, TE, P25E, conventional, DMRE, NXDNE). A lowercase "e" indicates partial encryption. Modes "D", "T", P25, DMR, NXDN (conventional) with no "E" or "e" are "clear"

For now, you can still listen to our Ontario Provincial Police with this trunk system:
Bell FleetNet Ontario Provincial Government Zone 1 Trunking System, Southwest Zone, Ontario
Look for towers in Essex and Chatham-Kent.

with these talkgroups:

8240	2030	D	OPP 1OPS03	Chatham-Kent 6D - 1OPS03	Law Dispatch
8272	2050	D	OPP 1OPS05	Essex County 6E - 1OPS05	Law Dispatch
8320	2080	D	OPP 1OPS08	Lambton County 6M - 1OPS08	Law Dispatch

CBSA and RCMP are encrypted same for Windsor PD. mciupa's advice is the best. Look at the database for Ontario (Essex) select the County to get the trunked systems. The program in the TG that are not 'E'. FleetNet is the one you will be most interested in. Then choose the Essex related TGs.

Okay, thank you. I was looking for what system or freq's they're using. So this will work.
