956.29375 P25 control channel

[bigcam406]

anyone know what system this control channel is from? was doing a freq search and found it with some encrypted voice comms as well.thanks

That's outside any valid band. Are you sure you're not getting overload?

What type of radio are you monitoring this on? If a scanner, can you detect the WACN/SID with the analysis tool(s)?

Toronto P25 Backup?

I was listening in the 956's mhz and i noticed i picked up control channels for the toronto p25 system.

so i made it as a site in my scanner and it points to voice channels in the proper frequencies.

Can anyone else confirm this?

I'd say your scanner has an image problem.

im using a GRE PSR 500.im sure its not overload.never heard it before so thats why im wondering.

Toronto Fire has a 952 MHz frequency licensed which is silent, but broadcast media seems to own the 956's.

thanks for confirming what i discovered yesterday as well.(see my thread).what would cause "imaging"? i can receive the actual CC's for Toronto that i have programmed in,so why would i receive those on 956mhz?

Try looking in the 700 MHz band for a corresponding frequency. My GRE-based scanners receive 700 stuff in the 950 range.

That's why I was asking about the make/model. GRE radios are legendary for images and such in that neighborhood. They masked off the upper end of the 700 band (top end of the input side) because they couldn't make images from the 800 band go away.

thanks,theres another member that has recently posted similar findings and we have determined its from Toronto public safety.i guess we can merge these 2 threads on this topic.

If you look into those a little deeper through the Virtual License tool, they're part of the station alerting system - likely the data side of things, triggering loudspeakers and alarms.

Poor receiver design.
