Does anyone know if Fleetcom is still around, or did they finally put the old girl out to the pasture and put it out of it's misery? With all of my trips in Toronto the past 6 months or so I don't think I have heard or seen any activity from this system?

I tried monitoring about a year or so ago and had no RSSI or any type of voice or data activity. I would think it would be safe to assume its gone. I am not entirely sure if it's going to be replaced by anything. I only ever heard activity on a couple of the TG's anyway.

If you're talking about 1F20, the 900MHz system that Fleetcom ran, no it has been down for a number of years and the equipment scrapped. Fleetcom no longer has any presence on 500 Duplex (the site where this system as well as a bunch of their other stuff was).

I kind of figured it was most likely DOA. Even a few years back when it did have some activity, if I remember correctly, most activity that I heard was that Taxi TG which wasn't all that active either.

I totally forgot about the 1F20 system, but no I was talking about the DMR Cap+ they had too. I just checked the licenses and it looks like the only license they have is up on Dixon Road.

I was at the repeater site 1x when I worked for Lakeshore for what amounted for 2.5 days, took a couple of great pictures up there.
