Hydro One Frequencies

[redyfox68]

I am looking for some help on Hydro One frequencies in Ontario. I have them downloaded, but not sure if it has something to do with what broadcasting they are using.

Depends. What part of Ontario are you in?

95% of their stuff is via cell phones. The last radio call I heard about a year ago was "John answer your phone".

Ok thanks

I am in around Orillia, Barrie, Muskoka.

Yup, this has been discussed multiple times before. About the only time you'll hear them on the radio is when they're in a large convoy headed somewhere or patrolling the lines after a storm. Anything else is done via cell phone.

On the topic of power utility scanning. If the power outage you want info on is not very localized its gonna be kind of pointless to listen to in my experience. Last year in ottawa we had a multiweek outage for some parts of the city and trying to figure out what the heck they were talking about was difficult to say the least. Just constant references to internal diagrams and maps, im sure people who have worked on the system understood it somewhat. But as a casual listener that was curious because they are just on a rented DMR trunked system here (ottawa) it was kind of pointless.

As we all know, the more active a service is, the easier it is to understand things. There are many of us hobbyists who compile information from listening and hearing references, then mapping out where units are sent or transmitting from.
Or hearing a reference and a few days later hearing something else based off that reference. It's an uphill battle but when the information comes together, it's rewarding.

Here in South Dundas there is a fleet of hydro trucks (Holland Power). They go to areas hit hard from storms in US and Canada when the local crews need help. I monitor their local frequency and when it gets active. I know there is a storm going to hit somewhere. Just thought I would mention it in case you wanted to add them in case they end up near you.

@Noseybody What are the frequencies? Or is it in the database already?

I don't think they're are in the database. I'm not sure how to have them added. Also note, you pick up some marine on at one of those locally, at least I do on my 125, hear the lock for sure and some marinas in the area, not sure why. I think it is marine channel 68, 156.4250 I hear.

On the Database page go to Submit Data in the menu on the left side, follow the guidelines. Otherwise, let me know the confirmed use frequencies, include any tones (CTCSS, DPL) and the location where you heard it from and I will take it from there.

Love the spelling of Iroquois lol

Thanks

I think they identify as a Quebec unit on FleetNet.

Thank you.
I will monitor a bit longer. I think 458.6625 is the only one used locally. Heard some activity Friday when they were getting ready to leave.
The other two I am sure use to be listed in other parts of Ontario, west of here, not Iroquois and pick up marine on at least one of them.
