LMRN General Discussion

Maybe there switching over earlier ?

Don't be in a rush for this. It sucks.
They started in the spring time in Zone 1 and everyone by Labour Day switched over.

Enjoy, guessing they start to switch over in the spring.

Well they can't seem to program sites correctly or even keep them on the air at all so don't hold your breath.

The audio on some of the radios are terrible as well, coverage is also a big issue.

Maybe unrelated, but Quinte West unit doing radio tests off the Demorestville and Cambellford towers tonight.

Another odd thing noticed at South Zone, Site 12 Woodlawn(Guelph). Since last Tuesday Oct 22nd all voice traffic at Site 12 stopped and has been that way as of noon today, when checked. The control channel is still very active but no voice calls. Has anyone any idea what going on?

 

[exkalibur]

Is the site showing as Isolated by chance? If that's the case, the system will shunt activity away from the site.

 

[jkraemer]

Nothing in Events or Messages indicating Isolation. Just Register/De-register/Response events.

Looks like the Whitby tower went down at 9 PM.

 

[exkalibur]

Toronto is showing Whitby as Isolated.

 

[slicerwizard]

Because it's completely off the air. Dead as a dodo.

 

[VA3DBJ]

It's back up, shortly after 1 AM, with a secondary control channel on 142.83 now.

 

[exkalibur]

Zone 2 is coming along VERY quickly. Went for a drive yesterday and can confirm these sites are on the air. Locations are assumptions based on Fleetnet sites.

Bracebridge
Burks Falls
Millar Hill
Jake Lake (MNR site here)
Gatehouse
Apsley
Bancroft
Peterborough

 

[Jradioptbo]

Peterborough is still operating FleetNet, but the LMRN control channel is active. Campbellford tower. Zone 2 is moving quickly.

 

[thecanadiangod]

Ottawa is set to install the new radios in the rigs tomorrow.

 

[hunterca]

Has anyone found the new Control Channel for Ottawa yet? I am guessing the tower is in the same place as FleetNet.

If you're in Ottawa, just do a frequency search for it and report back here.

Yes sorry, just to be clear... The sites are on the air transmitting a control channel, but all activity is still on FleetNet... For now

I am still using scanners. I do not yet have SDR receivers yet. hopefully soon.

You can do a simple search. You'll be able to tell a control channel from what pops up on a search "find"
You'll also be able to see which tower, the #,

I'm assuming you have a scanner that can do this?

I am not sure if my handheld 325P2 does I am sure my SDS100 does
