Erie Metro Transit Authority

[jasoyeom]

I'm in Ontario across the lake from Erie, Pa and I picked up a couple of frequencies that are also used by this system. In RR they are listed as using LTR but I received them up using DMR not LTR. Is it possible that this system as moved over to DMR? One TG was talking about buses (transit) and this system did have a transit talk group.

453.2250 Color Code 9, TG's 9008, 10716
453.2000 Color Code 7, TG's 1, 10106, 21337

Is anyone able to confirm this?

I was up there last summer they had LTR system but they had dmr radio so im guessing maybe they switched over but i cant confirm anything.

I think I recognize one of the bus drivers as she has an accent and is very excitable. So it could be they upgraded to a DMR system.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was switched to dmr alot of place are going that way i know here in Pittsburgh our bus I noticed most of them getting dmr radios but not using dmr yet and alot of hospitals are switching over to dmr

Thanks. Glad I found it and their signal strength is pretty strong here across the lake from them.

Check out these licenses:
Both indicate a trunked system and are licensed for both NFM and DMR.

453.6000 sounds like it's still on the LTR system. No voice though.

453.2000 Has plenty of i-calls between units talking about bus issues. Pretty sure this is a transit system.

What is the Erie transit showing up under in Ontario?

What is the Erie transit showing up under in Ontario?

Why would any frequencies used in Pennsylvania show up under Ontario?

The beginning of this thread stated it.

 

[GTR8000]

The beginning of this thread stated it.

No, he stated that he was able to receive the frequencies from Ontario. It was never stated that the frequencies show up in the database under Ontario (nor should they).

I may have misunderstood then. I am trying to program in Erie Transit, but not having any luck.

I have a favorites list from a year ago when they were LTR I guess. I'm hearing nothing now.

 

[Emta6727]

I installed it on my scanner as DMR, but still not receiving anything. The original poster had it coming through after they changed radio systems.

 

[jasoyeom]

I monitored them on Friday from Port Dover, Ontario which is across the lake from Erie and dispatch was making an announcement that went to all bus riders.

 

[Emta6727]

If you dont mind me asking, what kind of scanner do you have?
