Can you help me how to listen to mississauga fire ?

When you turn your scanner on, let it scan until the Peel Region system comes on. Push the SYSTEM button. Next push the DEPT button, scroll until you find Mississauga Fire. Let the scanner look for a channel, it will display Scanning . . .


If there is an active incident, you should hear something.

The entire Mississauga Fire system is in the database in your scanner.

Build it from the database as it's own system. Pick out the talkgroups.

Quick saving a frequency ? What are u trying to do there?

866.4375 is 1 of the voice channels in the Mississauga trunked system. .. there are 21 different frequencies in the system ..you need to have the WHOLE system entered in order to hear everything

You need to use Sentenel to import the system, and only select the MFS talkgroups.

Did you set this system up with Sentenel? If so, did you select the MFS talkgroups??

I don't have a 436 or 536, but MFS will work with any P25 scanner. I think perhaps you need to familiarize yourself with the radio a little more. There are many starters guides out there that can get you up to speed on properly programming and using your radio.
