Any factual, or verifiable data to prove whether it is, or is not?
Is this Ottawa system simulcast?

Do the sites have exactly the same frequencies? Those that do would be a simulcast site (cell).

I'm asking about a Canadian radio system. There is no FCC data to look at.
west-pac - WA0CBW is correct. The fact he is in America is not relevant in this case. What he is saying is simulcast systems use the same frequencies on all towers at the same time and carry the same traffic. IE 851.000, 852.000, 853.000. A non simulcast system (FleetNet, for example) use different frequencies for each tower site even though they carry the same radio traffic.
WA0CBW. I know you did not bring up the database issue. The Canadian data bases (TAFL) are so heavily redacted they are virtually useless. All systems have to be R&D to locate the frequency set and then to locate the tower sites. It appears the member is just asking for confirmation on the system configuration.

I know what simulcast sites are. What I am seeking is information on whether anyone knows, or has put forth the effort to find out, if either of the sites on that Ottawa system are simulcast. It's easy to use DSD+, find a Site number, the freqs, the CC/ACCs associated with that site, and submit it to the RRDB. I want to know if anyone has looked past that information to determine if either site is a simulcast cell.
Watching the tone and temper of this thread. Be nice.
Please have patience for people who actually live in Ottawa to go mobile to respond.
Is it a slow day in Indiana? What makes you think of Ottawa Canada?

Why do you have to engage in this thread? Is it a slow day in the moderation world?

Wow......just wow! Was that really necessary? The mod is only doing his job and he is right, why worry about something in Canada when a lot of their information is "E" ? You won't be able to listen to it anyway? - Sorry mciupa.
So, anybody in Ottawa know the answer?
I am from Ottawa. The City of Ottawa is a non-simulcast system. Police are encrypted and so is the Fire Dept. OC Transpo LRT is also Encrypted. regular buses are in the clear as well as Municipality.

Based on this news article from 2018 I'd say there is more to it than meets the eye.

City works to get LRT, police connected to Ottawa's delayed radio system
The Dunrobin tornado might be a prime example of why the city needs to get a new radio system completely implemented for emergency responders who use the…

Site 2 is the same not simulcast.

How do you know that?
because my BCD325P2 receives it with no problem.
And I have been monitoring these two sites, only two, for a long time.
Does anyone know when this system will go TDMA since it is already P25 PH2?

What is the physical location of Site 1?
What is the physical location of site 2?

Can you look on the link you provided and tell me where the physical location is? (Hint: it's not listed)
just zoom in on the map. Or insert the lat and long into google maps.
Well, if you take this from site 2
And stick in google maps, it shows this
