Mississauga Fire

[TheWarlock]

Does anyone know if Mississauga Fire still broadcasts on 414.58750MHz after switching to P25? I have not had a chance to tune in.

Yes, Squad 101 call being dispatched right now.

Last week I heard the vehicular repeater on the 859 frequency in the clear too.

Thank You. I guess to monitor the rest of Mississauga fire I need to upgrade to p25

Is it me or has Mississauga Fire dropped this channel?

They ceased use of the UHF channel as of Monday. They no longer voice out dispatches unless the truck being dispatched is "on the air" - that is, not in the station. Dispatches are transmitted to the station over IP using the Locution system - same deal as Toronto EMS.

This is for Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon.

I thought that Toronto EMS uses i calls? Wouldn't this apply for Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon Fire?

Well that sucks.... So my next guess will be that they will switch from alpha paging to emails of the calls.

So using this new system do calls still go out on the P25 system ch.1?

Only if a truck is out of station and on the air. So lets hope no one puts up a audio feed for the OPS channel or we will see them go enc quickly.

So assuming the trucks are in the station (as they should be) is there any way to still know where calls are being dispatched?

If you reread the thread Mississauga has changed and Brampton will all likely hood do the same. Dispatch over IP, I can't see them using TDMA on the OPS channels, not for Fire. So dispatching will be only with IP and Paging unless a truck is on the air then he will be voice dispatched. I haven't listened to Fire in a week so i have no idea for sure. My guess, i was told Brampton fire is back dispatching from a buddy in towing.
