LMRN General Discussion

[rneals]

Yes they have so thats what is odd about the request from dispatch https://calls.broadcastify.com/d04d/563/1712946171-8752.mp3

It may just be a flash upgrade, or reprogramming the code plug executed via a radio swap.
Perhaps they got the radios early enough that there have been programming changes that cant wait until over the air programming is working.

Hi:

Does anyone know what the 24XXX talkgroups might be? They are encrypted. Heard them off the Kitchener site.

No response as always!

I suspect they are the hospital groups. Just a guess but seems logical as I've seen ring/pager alerts on them from CACC and looks exactly the same when they do that on FleetNet.

I don't generally engage in these comments but holy dude, after only 24 hours since the post you're mad about people not knowing what a talkgroup is that we CAN'T listen to? Ridiculous.

 

[gary123]

Even though they are supposed to stop the winter road reports Apr15th. I am hoping they will decide to continue doing some level of reports to test the coverage of the system before major users transition.

2055 = Patrol 30
2056 = Patrol 31

Let's get back to business aside from this distraction.

Would be a typical government thing to do. Hey, let's use these MTO guys as testers for the new system. Sure sounds good! Oh by the way, they will test the system for.. little over a week before stopping their reports each day, so we will get a real good idea how the system will work out.

Hopefully, they just do some radio checks or something with whatever units are out and about. Even just a what's your location and how well do you hear me type thing would do just fine. Let's see what happens Monday, onwards

I was thinking about the Zone 2 cutover...Having MTO test when Zone 2 switches may be mid summer.

IIRC the MTO/AMC were the first to join FleetNet back in the day as well. May as well have a user that isn't safety critical be the "guinea pig". Easier to find out something fails when it's a snow plow, rather than an Officer calling for help.

Only in Fenelon Falls, if you call that Eastern. No one else has reported any findings to us.

Start searching between 141 to 144 MHz. The system ID should be AD. Any voice frequencies will be TDMA, showing the different slots used when transmitting.

Nothing in the Pembroke Area yet, scanned with my 996P2 and nothing new in the 141-145 range here.

Does anyone know where I can locate the orginal RFP for the project? I would like to understand what the province thought it needed vs what they have gotten, and yes, I now agree the money really isn't much all things considered.

Rookie SDS200 owner here in the GTA: I recently updated the database and now have the LMRN in the scanner. However, with the recent postings about MTO switching over, I haven't heard them yet on it. I'm still hearing them on the legacy FleetNet system.

Am I doing anything wrong?

I see zero activity on the MTO Maintenance talkgroups on Fleetnet from Whitby - are you by chance mixing that up with MTO enforcement? Which sites are you on? Some talkgroups may have been added here after the last database pull by Uniden. You may want to throw ID Search on instead of ID Scan. Make sure public works is enabled too as a service type.

They aren't extremely talkative but, consistent enough. I see some chatter around every 20-30 minutes the past couple hours.

 

[mciupa]

Make sure you have either Toronto or King City towers in your programming as most of my MTO monitoring are on Sites 39 and 40.

 

[mrweather]

Thanks for the tips fellas! Yes, it's MTO enforcement I'm hearing on FleetNet so that answers that question. I have Toronto and King City towers enabled for LMRN. I will double check to see if public works is toggled on or not.

 

[gary123]

My LMRN settings for sites are below. This is using ARC software. I only have the one frequency for the CC entered. This seems to be catching all the local MTO activity so far.

I saw MTO Kitchener talkgroup today off the Brantford FleetNet tower. I can't reach any other LMRN tower other than Hamilton and no activity there.

It wasn't a mistake or I wasn't hearing things, I wondering why is the MTO on Brantford still?

 

[Muxlow]

Was talking to Essex EMS today. They said next week they go over to the PSRN. He called it LMRN

Now that I think about EMS going over next week, I'd guess OPP and all other Essex County users would be changing over also. Can't have FleetNet and LMRN going at the same time. There is just not enough voice channels for both to be running same time.

Have to keep a close eye on the DSD+ off Windsor site and see if Leamington site comes online or not, too.
