Last night I randomly decided to scan the unknown with my Icom R20. To my surprise, I started picking up familiar voices, first Mississauga Fire, then Peel Police, GTAA...essentially the Peel trunk system. Seemed odd because I was around 3167.000! A bit more manually adjustment up and down and some listening to identify the systems (yes, plural) and after an hour or so this is what I had:

I don't think this is an anomaly. I'm three kms from the nearest YRP tower in Richmond Hill and all of those same frequencies are still active this morning. I'm at a loss to explain it. Can anyone shed some light?
