Halifax/Dartmouth Bridges

I've been unable to hear the Halifax/Dartmouth bridge commission for the past 4 or 5 months. I know they are DMR and I was hearing them in the past. I wonder if anything has changed for them?

Been wondering the same thing. Realized hadn't heard them in a while, Actually had my 325 targeting them last couple trips to the city. Nothing as of yet. Will be heading into city first of next week, let you know if I get anything.

The dreaded ENC? Over here, many instances of "in the clear", then ENC was engaged! You will have to park your scanner on frequency and see if you hear that dreaded sound.

In the city for while this morning. Nothing on any of the posted frequencies for Halifax Harbour Bridges.
There use to be a "control channel" noise on 463.000 but not a thing. Did a freq search and ran close call with no results. Even if they've encryption I'd think the control channels would still be making some sort of noise. I'll have to check again next trip to town.

Since my last post, Have made several trips into Halifax and have so far been unsuccessful monitoring HHB.
Still a work in progress.
I did find what appears to be a new digital frequency on 421.0125. The TAFL site ID's it as Moncton Heritage
Court Holdings.

They were moved to the TMR2 months ago because Bell offered them to join the system, as it helps increase interoperability with HRFE/HRP/EHS etc... as such, they are encrypted. I had put that information on the TMR2 Wiki entry at that time. Their TRBO/DMR System was uninstalled and went to the scrap heap.

I will add their talkgroups when I get my hands on their fleet map, but you still won't be able to hear them (obviously)

Thanks, kind of thinking that was the case.
