Pro-163 Ottawa EMS EDACS

[colinzim]

Sorry I am very new.

Can the Pro-163 be programmed for:

Ottawa Public Safety Trunking System, Ottawa, Ontario - Scanner Frequencies

System Name: Ottawa Public Safety
Location: Ottawa, ON
County: Ottawa
System Type: EDACS Networked Standard
System Voice: ProVoice and Analog
Last Updated: December 28, 2013, 11:58 am (Updated Talkgroups (8 Updated))

Does it need to be rebanded first ?

Can't comment on the programming as I'm unfamiliar with that scanner but rebanding doesn't apply to Canada.

Rebanding does not apply to EDACS, only 850MHz Motorola systems.

The PRO-163 can be programmed for the EDACS system. Be aware,
these are special-purpose EMS channels used for events etc. including
Winterlude. Main EMS activity is on Ontario-wide Motorola VHF system
which you can also receive:

Bell FleetNet - Ontario Provincial Government Zone 2 Trunking System, Southeast Zone, Ontario - Scanner Frequencies

In case you're not aware: forget Ottawa Police on EDCAS on your scanner (or any other); but there are other ways to receive
them.
