Ottawa MTO

[Jason_wyler]

I’m thinking of listening to the Ottawa MTO since it's snowing. I'm thinking they will be busy, it should be active today.

I have Bell FleetNet program in as Conventional and I have OPP comms in and EMS but I do not hear the snow plows. I have the Kinburn tower programmed in.
I'm thinking I need to have it as a trunk system to hear snow plows.

The MOT will be analog. If you have the voice freq programmed in for your local site and are hearing EMS you will also hear MTO if they are active on the site.

I haven't heard plows yet so should I program all Ottawa sites ??

@gary123 Can you create a plow file for me on Freescan?

 

[Jason_wyler]

The snow plows are really active today

 

[mmisk]

Strange, I have not heard any MTO plow activity on FleetNet from January 14-15 2025.

Strange, I have not heard any MTO plow activity on FleetNet from January 14-15 2025.

Have they possibly switched to the new radio system? MTO was the first to switch here in SWO.

 

[mmisk]

Ottawa is still on the old FleetNet system.

 

[Aviator747]

Still hearing them here.

 

[Noseybody]

I have been hearing road conditions every now and then on a frequency on what I have labeled as MOH. I just thought it was them, a supervisor or something, until yesterday at the end he said I have 6 plows on the road.
It is on my BC125AT I pick it up so can't replay to see which one frequency Will try and pay more attention.
I am along the 401, South Dundas ON.

 

[mmisk]

Thanks everyone!
Will listen again as soon as it snows etc.

 

[mmisk]

I fired up Unitrunker and I just realized it is not switching to the voice frequency for analog calls,
Digital voice call are working fine though. this has never happened before.
I might try reverting to a previous version.

 

[Aviator747]

The version ending in .22 works fine for me.

 

[mmisk]

Thanks, I am on .20 and will download .22 now. Can't find a .22, so I downloaded .21 and installed.
Still no analog voice. Will check my laptop install shortly.

 

[Aviator747]

I will look when I get home. I'm pretty sure .22 is the newest unless it was pulled. Analog was fine for me last night, at least off of the Cornwall tower.

 

[Aviator747]

Thanks, I am on .20 and will download .22 now. Can't find a .22, so I downloaded .21 and installed.
Still no analog voice. Will check my laptop install shortly.

So my memory ain't so great .21 is the newest.

 

[gary123]

.22.0.21 is the current beta

 

[mmisk]

Well, UT worked fine on my laptop.

Fresh install of UT on desktop computer solved the issue.

I renamed the UT files and data folder on desktop computer to save data, and allow UT to see this as a fresh install.

Installed .21 and it is functioning fine now.

 

[gary123]

It is always good to read posts where the poster supplies the solution to the problem. This helps anyone having a similar or the same issue and reading the thread. Good work mmisk.

 

[Aviator747]

ok, I'm not "wrong" anymore. .22 was just released.

 

[gary123]

it looks like 21 and 22 are tweaks to the GUI and import export functions. Unitrinker does a great job on logging although the initial population of TG aliases and radio alias takes a bit of time but once done Unitrunker gives a great overview of the systems being monitored.
