LADD - Alberta or Nationwide?

[mikepdx]

LADDs in the good 'ole USA

So we should list illegal activities so they can interfere with more licensed users.

Stating facts hardly promotes use. What a bizarre thought.

BTW - The LADD channels are alive and well here in Oregon along I-5...

We list FRS, GMRS and CB frequencies here - does that mean we're promoting illegal use? Afterall, if you're using a proper FRS/GMRS/CB radio, you don't need to know the frequencies at all.

Listing a frequency being used isn't promoting illegal activity. SMH.

Was up in northern Alberta last week and it was'nt the abuse of LADD GMRS of FRS
That grabbed my attention it was use of Marine Radio and frequencies

Easy to use and obtain and now easy to abuse, I wonder why a gas station was selling them
Now I know

 

[NDRADIONUT]

I have heard lots of truckers on marine radios from both countries along with others using them for businesses...

As I have stated, the CBizing of VHF by truckers using illegal radios being modded and not following what their license states, if they have one. Anarchy on the VHF bands after leaving the CB band.

here is a question to ponder...

Industry Canada has mandated in BC a limited set of Narrowband frequencies to be used on resource roads. Just because anyone in BC has these frequencies loaded in, and Industry Canada has said they are to be used in BC ONLY. (And the LD are NOT LADD channels)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON RESOURCE INDUSTRY RADIO CHANNELS USED IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Should they be listed everywhere because of the potential?

The RRDB is to be a list of confirmed frequencies (not licensed) in each area with no overlap. What is the best way of doing that? (Positive suggestions preferred)

 

[NDRADIONUT]

I have never heard any of those 35 ? Rr freqs used down here in nd like the 5 lads and 45 or so others.... The alberta wide freqs have all been monitored here in nd so obviously they are used in manitoba....

 

[NDRADIONUT]

Should they be listed everywhere because of the potential? NO IT DOESNT SEEM TO BE HAPPENING WITH THAT SET....

The RRDB is to be a list of confirmed frequencies (not licensed) in each area with no overlap.
THE 5 LADS SHOULD BE LISTED AS NATIONWIDE AND MAYBE THE ALBERTA WIDE FREQS TOO...

 

[robertmac]

Now we have to resort to yelling. But didn't the LADD frequencies start off the same as these RR frequencies? I would say they should remain as BC resource and not anywhere else except in the areas in BC that they will be used in. We shouldn't encourage the use of frequencies for which one is not licensed. Or for which others are licensed and have people encroach on who are not licensed.

 

[NDRADIONUT]

No one is yelling.... Its not encouraging anything... It is already going on and prob. Cant get much worse....

...THE 5 LADS...

There is only 4 LAD channels... And 6 Alberta Open channels.

Ive heard 153.050 referred to as lad 5 many times ??

The 35 RR&LD frequencies are ONLY used in BC by the forest service/resource roads. They are only authorized in BC as mobile to mobile, and I beleive Ministry of Forest & Range hold licenses for them. All other users must have the 'RR' appendix added to their existing license to be able to legally use them. They are all 30w 2.5KHz deviation except for the 5 LD channels, those are 5w(I think) 2.5KHz deviation.

I guess it boils down to db accuracy or someones wishful thinking...

That is one of the Alberta open channels, not LAD 5. The LAD(Logging ADministration) channels are a BC thing from many years ago. They eventually turned into a trucker thing, as an alternative to the VERY short range that CB has in the mountains of BC.

If you look at the second photo I uploaded to this thread you will see that 153.050 is not a valid mobile to mobile channel in BC, as the other 5 Alberta Open channels are not valid in BC either.

It was only around 2003?(can't exactly remember when) that IC allowed LAD 1 to be used as a resource road channel in Alberta, and only north of Edmnton(52degrees latitude and north) LAD 1 is not valid south of Edmonton as a mobile to mobile channel, LAD 2 and LAD 3 are not valid mobile to mobile channels anywhere in Alberta. LAD 4 however, is a valid mobile to mobile channel in Alberta, when used as a resource road channel.

The label of LAD 5 as 153.050 is unofficial, while it may be called LAD 5 by those that do not know any better, is not correct. It is actually part of the 6 Alberta Open channels.

There again what is being done with those 9 freqs is a lot different than what the govt planned (50 watt radios all over etc).... But what belongs in the db is reality not wishful thinking....

Seen that before... Hopefully they are pointing buyers towards IC licensing.

10 frequencies, but yes, I agree with you, they are being used in no way near how they were invisioned by IC in the first place.
