Has anyone heard anything about Oxford County rural fire switching to MotoTRBO? I've been trolling thru some TAFL data and there are numerous VHF frequencies licensed to Oxford Fire with the TRBO 7K60 emission type.
Spent 5 hours in Tavistock today. No activity on 152.675 or fire dept.
Yes, they are definitely still currently analog.... Just wondering if anyone had heard anything regarding a migration to digital (as suggested by TAFL data). Seems to be the popular thing in my area. Elgin County switched to a simulcast TRBO system last year, and Lambton County is in the process now. From what I've heard Middlesex is keeping an eye on it too, but it won't be anytime soon.
Lots of dmr chatter on 152.675 if someone can
log the info...

Coverage testing was being performed this afternoon. Seems to be a connect plus system with and ID of 212. 152.585 is site 212-1, and shows a neighbor of 212-2. All comms were on TG 200, Color code 1, Slot 1.If anyone can verify, I will put this info through to be added.

Strange. That's the Horizon Utilities system down towards Hamilton. You might want to look at this:
