I am just looking for some clarification on Evans Bus Lines. I Googled their company and they are in Newington, Ont. location. They do some
some bus runs In Ottawa. I haven't programmed them yet. I just want to check to see if anyone else has heard them before I enter it in.

Thanks

Why don't you put them in your scanner and figure it out yourself?

You've made the mods annoyed and besides, who would help you if you don't do anything on your own?

Look at the reactions, not good!

Simple, program the site in, leave it scan and listen. If you hear something great. If not, carry on and try something else. That's how all of this was found to begin with. You get all the emojis because you keep posting the same silly questions, people give you answers and you ask the same silly questions again. You don't contribute anything meaningful.

I'm here a lot
It is listed in the Multiple area talkgroup category in PushPlus Network 201. That would mean it could affiliate with any number of tower sites in the network. If you have and use software, enable all the sites and see which one hits.

I will approve your next post in this thread only if you successfully find the tower.

What is with all of the crazy Emojis? It as if this site isn't worth it.

This is the absolute best scanner site in the world and the Ontario page is the best one.

You're getting flack because you refuse to do any work yourself. If you took initiative you will find that people here will go out of their way to help. I personally am an idiot technology wise, but I learned how to program scanners and know a little bit.

You've been told numerous times to take initiative. Let's see what you do with it.

You have at least 11 towers to choose from in Ottawa. Simply see if you can hear any of them. Maybe create a system with the towers you can hear and the specific talkgroup for Evans.

IIRC, you have a SDS100. It's already loaded in the scanners database.
And you can use the recording feature. Run it when u think they will be active.

I don't for the life of me understand your passion for monitoring school bus comm's. Out of anything you can to listen to........umm ya.

Site 11 Metcalfe
Con+, 201, 11, 1, 451.56250, 0.0, 0
Con+, 201, 11, 3, 462.83750, 0.0, 0
Con+, 201, 11, 5, 452.83750, 0.0, 0

316852 and 323996 sounds like School Buses

I just upload the entire database in the Push Plus system and what I have copied is I found that in a post that @mmisk did matching Evans Bus Lines.

I hope this is what I needed to do as it did take some time to do this.

HEY!!!!! Look at you!!!

You figured it out and might have found another talkgroup! Good for you Jason!
You'll get more help and earn respect if you keep doing this.

I just would like to know, did I fix my issue with trying to find Evans now? I know it's a snow day, but I just would like to know if I took the right direction in what I did by uploading the Full Database? Or, should I take a different approach?

Jason:

How would anyone know? It seems as if there's 11 towers in Ottawa for this system. Ottawa is a large city in terms of area, who knows what of the 11 towers you can hear.

Find out which towers you can hear, then set up system's. Either run the towers with only Evans bus or run it in search with only the Evans talkgroup.

And yes, today isnt a good day, your probably not going to hear them, no school.

Have a little confidence in yourself, figure it out on your own. Your probably not an old timer like myself or others, youd be unable to program anything back in the old days, scanner books didn't really come out till the 80's and many of us figured stuff out by trial and error

I did however hear a school bus company in Brockville. I only have Transportation service type on during the school day so that has to do something.

While hunting a new service you should enable all types. Also you should be in ID search mode. :)

I too am happy with your learning curve keep up the good work.
