It appears they have made some site changes to the FleetConnect System. The database has Brantford as site 15, but last week I picked up a control channel close to home on 422.650 that comes back on DSD as System 158 site 23, with a NL of sites 11,15,21,22. A further investigation of the TAFL shows the 422.650 and 422.250 licensed to MRC systems with the site location in Brantford on Paris rd. Site 15 and associated frequencies seems to have moved to Woodstock according to the TAFL, with a Karn rd location. I don't know where that leaves Goderich, which shows as site 23 in the database.

I'm here a lot
At one time FleetConnect transmitted a document with all site info which was current at that point. Looks like we'll have to make some corrections.

Did the new Brantford freq still have a CC of 02 or are they CC06?

They must be still working to bring Woodstock online cause I put in the frequencies, but there's no bars.

I haven't seen any sign of a repeater map being broadcast yet but I did just submit an update of site 158-40 (Fonthill) to the database to clear up the duplication and even triplication of certain frequencies between FleetConnect, GOTRBO and Federal Wireless in the Fonthill area based on a full day of watching/listening using multiple instances of DSD+.

Based on the three FleetConnect Site 158-40 confirmed active frequencies logged today there does not appear to be GOTRBO presence in the Niagara area any more. The previously listed Fonthill GOTRBO and original FleetConnect Fonthill frequencies are either part of this site, Federal Wireless site 7 or completely unused at the moment. There was also significant activity on T/G 20001 listed as FleetConnect Radio Techs installing many new vehicle radios (in trucks based on the verbal comms) somewhere. I didn't check neighboring sites to see if the T/G was operating wide-area or only Fonthill.

Correction to the radio techs T/G in my post above - the active talkgroup was 11050001. It's active again this morning on site 40. When I searched the DSDplus Groups folder here yesterday afternoon my eye caught the name of the first radio techs group that came up but I failed to notice the last active date wasn't current. There was zero activity logged on 20001 yesterday.

This morning I've manually gone through 409-425 MHz and 451-465 MHz at 6.25kHz spacing and I'm not seeing anything that hasn't been previously positively identified by us collectively here, nor has there been any CC activity noted in relation to GOTRBO as sysID 202 in any flavor of DMR from out here. I welcome any feedback from other locations!

I've checked the few sites I can pull in from my area... I was able to confirm sites 4, 5, 6 & 7 are status quo. However, I did change the site name for 158-7 from Strathroy to Ilderton (I'm in Strathroy and it's definitely not here). TAFL data would confirm just outside of Ilderton.

Also... I checked the GoTRBO London site at 463.7375 and it appears to be gone.... However it could just be poor RX. I'll confirm when I'm back to the office in a couple of days. I don't think I've ever seen traffic on that site.... OnQ is definitely king around here.

I've checked the 2 sites I can get from my place and have submitted changes to the Brantford and Woodstock sites. Not a lot of activity on either of these sites. I would have to agree with Forts about OnQ.

Just wanted to say 422.462 for Woodstock is DMRT3 so that one doesn't belong in FleetConnect

422.4625 is already in the db as FastNet in Woodstock, paired with 422.3250. (Site 1.6)

I can confirm the FastNet Woodstock freqs. I was at the site for unrelated work several months ago.

Hey Gary, I was discussing that site offline today and was informed the TAFL shows 422.350 at the site but there's no mention of 422.325. Can you confirm it active or have we got it wrong here? I'm of course way out of range of that one.

Ok, can you submit an update here? 422.5625 doesn't show up in the TAFL either.

Does anyone have the info for DSDPlus.frequencies file? I manually created the info but not sure it's correct:

; Brantford FleetConnect
DMR, 158, 23, 0, 422.250,0.0,1
DMR, 158, 23, 0, 422.650,0.0,2

I'm barely picking up Fleetconnect Site 158-15 (Woodstock) on 420.7500 which is not listed in the frequencies for Woodstock on the RR database. I downloaded the system onto my 436HP awhile ago and it was listed under Wilmot which is no longer listed as a site.

Also I tried picking up the Fleetconnect site in Brantford on 420.1875 but DSDPlus lists it as OnQ from Brantford which has the same frequency listed under OnQ for Brantford. How can this be?

I have the correct information for the file now but I don't know what the voice channels are for Site 15 420.750.

Picking up several TGid's on this site but can't monitor them with DSD+ because I don't know the voice channels.

24072 - Wellington County Roads
24178 - Fonthill - Taxi
21417 - Union Gas
24168 - Able Towing
