Datbase for Ontario - Simcoe County

Or anywhere really.

I'm looking at the listings and want to be sure here of what I'm reading. Some of the frequency listings have PL or DPL tones listed. Am I correct in assuming that this is only required for TX and not RX? I was thinking about amateur repeaters, where PL tones are only required to transmit, but not to listen.

You have the option of using or not using them in a scanner. It can be an advantage
to separate different users on the same frequency, or reduce the effects of intermod
should it affect you (especially pagers).

I never thought about pagers. I live in a rural area, but travel, so it cannot hurt. Thanks for the response.
