Lo-Jack in Canada!

[stuck22]

So according to Lojack.ca we now have Lo-Jack in Canada. I've spent alot of time looking over old threads about Lo-Jack and I have a few questions that I couldnt find answers for.

1. Lo-jack in the USA is using the Freq of 173.075. Is it using the same freq in Canada? I have checked the TAFL and could not find anything for that freq in BC.

2. What type of data is the Lo-Jack device sending?

3. Is there any program I can download to decode the Lo-Jack data on my computer? ie. with a scanner & Descrim tap?

4. Are there any Lo-jack towers in Canada?

I have LoJack on my laptop. Have had it for the last 2 years.

I never knew they had it for notebooks? Wonder if they will have a wife version...

Also Lo/Jack is available in Canada but under another name.. Boomerang! Not sure but i am guessing someone here in Canada got the rights to Lo?Jack and that's why they had a different name here but Boomerang and Lo/Jack are the same company...
