Kitchener/Waterloo

I was out in KW today and did a bunch of scanning..

Toyota's DT3 system is active with TG's 342, 343, 500, 502, 702 and 900 active during my scan. Can someone create a Wiki page for this so we can start dumping unknown TG's in there?

Conestoga College in Waterloo is using 452.3625 DMR CC 1 with TG 80 for security (which is the same TG as Doon and Brantford)
Conestoga Mall in Waterloo is using 462.2875 DMR CC 6 TG 10 is security and TG 30 is Maintenance
Conestoga Meat Packers in Breslau in using 461.2375 DMR CC 7 with ops on 6300 and 6400
Loblaws Distribution Centre in Cambridge is using 451.7875 DMR CC 3 with ops on 1001 & 1003

I also saw a TG 2 pop up on the Fairview Park Mall which sounded like security as well but could be Property Management (they where talking about a subject and him being banned from the property until Aug)

And also saw TG 2 pop up on the Waterloo Region Courthouse system which sounded like Maintenance.. (maybe Property Management)

Three oddities/corrections (maybe?) that might need to be done to the DB.

451.4875 CC 6 is listed as DMR for U of Waterloo. I was receiving a Cap+ on this frequency with the same CC. I didn't see TG 1 but did heard TG 4 which I couldn't figure out what it is.
463.6875 this frequency is listed as a DMR with a CC 1 which I didn't hear but I did hear a Cap+ on this frequency with CC 6 and TG of 243. The only thing licensed on this frequency in the area is Spectrum out of Kitchener.

So I am guessing they converted these both a Cap+ system then?

Last one which I have received in the past but never heard any traffic on it until today definitely sounds like U Of Waterloo but not sure where this one is. There is a pretty big campus in Kitchener and another one in Cambridge so it could be either one of these campuses.
461.025 DMR CC 8 Heard TG 9000 and 4500 was active and sounded similar to the traffic heard on the main TG in Waterloo

Should have a peek at 167.74500 listed as city hall security. When i was in town few weeks ago this freq was a cap+ lcn 5/6 i think
Didnt have a whole lot of time to try and track down all the other frequencies and talkgroups

Oddly enough I don't think I heard that one this time around but did hear it the previous time I was out that way.

I programmed this as a MotoTRBO Trunk system on my Uniden, ran LCN finder which found LCN 3. CC 3 has TG 12 which appears to be security in this configuration.

I also see brief flashes of activity on CC 5 and 1.

I also programmed it in as a One Frequency Trunking system as that might explain the other LCNs and CCs seen? I'm not particularly expert in programming the Unidens (or anything) but I have found a few that show as CAP+ that work best as OFT. I've done that to a few of what are listed as DMR conventional channels already (like UW) as it seems to address the issue with the scanner hanging on to the data pulses excessively long when scanning them as conventional.

In any case, I'm excited to see attention and DB updates to the systems in my area.

The 463.9625 (Waterloo Campus) and 461.0250 (Kitchener Campus) are both straight up DMR Conventional (TG 4500 is parking and 9000 is Security) where as the 451.4875 (CC 6) shows a a Cap+ system for U Of Waterloo for Plant Ops. I only heard that one frequency for the Cap+ system. But also try and listen to 462.4125 if you can and see if you hear similar traffic as that may be part of that Cap+ system. They are licensed on that frequency as DMR as well.

I am not sure why you are seeing CC 1, 3 and 5 maybe a bad decode?

TG 1 and TG 4 are both active on this UW Cap+ trunked system this morning.

Sorry, I didn't quote who I was replying to and caused confusion. I was referring to Muxlow's post about Kitchener City Hall at 167.74500. I think you're right about the false decodes tho. Seems to be a quirk of this scanner I have yet to get used to.

I added 462.4125 to my UW TRBO programming but no activity on it yet.
