Last I heard it was still open carrier up here.
Open carrier still on those two old channels. But today I heard radio testing on 155.790 by radio techs testing mag mounts and they still called it A4. PL was correct.
In the past, RCMP have used old channels and mag mounts for surveillance training, using mag mounts and old cop cars.
I'm wondering if they are gearing up for the Pope's visit to Lac Ste Anne West of Onoway in Parkland RCMP's area?
They still have all the old VHF channels still in their new AFFRCS radios.
The AFRRCS towers are going to be taxed to the limit with all the traffic expected. Also, I expect the two SOW's will most likely be deployed.
In the past, for the pilgrimage even with no Pope there they have set up extra VHF repeaters for the event.
I had most of the RCMP stuff deleted from my scanners but my car unit was still scanning them.
Shall be an interesting event in July.
