Advice needed

Looking for scanner looking at sds-100 but in the 700 mhz it goes low at 758 from what i see on uniden page
I was told in my area edmundston nb i would miss some stuff with upcoming new tmr for police etc told i would need something in the 720 range
So any other scanner i should look at
And is there any truth to this

Here are the Specifications on frequency coverage.

Not sure about Canada, but here is the 700MHz band in US

700 MHz Public Safety Spectrum

The 700 MHz Band is an important swathe of spectrum available for both commercial wireless and public safety communications. The Band consists of 108 megahertz of spectrum running from 698-806 MHz and was freed up as a result of the Digital Television Transition. The location of the 700 MHz...

700 mhz digital scanners

Which scanners can receive 700 digital? Would a new 700 digital system be P25 phase 1 or 2? Is there a converter that would convert a 700 digital signal to a frequency that my digital Radio Shack scanner can receive?

No

What is your source for the frequencies? I cannot locate any info about a tmr system in Canada using frequencies that low.

 

[baloumax]

Its in nbtmr and some parts are not active yet for edmundston region
It is to come that they might use in the 720s so just tryin ti spend the money on something that goes there

720MHz is a cellular band in Canada. You won't find any public safety systems in that band.

Bell Mobility Cellular owns the rights to two blocks of spectrum covering that frequency area in the Maritimes.

If private company go digital isnt it in that aren they will go

 

[mikewazowski]

No, that area is strictly cellular. I don't believe ISED set aside any 700MHz spectrum for private companies.

Whoever told you they would be using 720MHz for TMR is wrong. Most likely they'll use the spectrum set aside for public safety by ISED which most newer scanners cover.

You'll find most companies on their existing licensed channels. Most digital commercial traffic is on UHF (4xx MHz)
