Sherbrooke NS & Area

[Ramathorne]

I was just browsing through this list

Aliant Trunked Mobile Radio System (TMRS) Trunking System, Province-Wide, Multi-State - Scanner Frequencies

Noticed Sherbrooke RCMP, St Marys Hospital, DOT (DIR) EHS etc were not on it???

Does anyone in my area pick these up or were the codes just left out etc?

I see DNR is listed for Stilwater....

I have also posted another thread about some assistance about picking out a scanner

Will I be able to pick up anything in my area with a good digital trunking scanner???
I listed my picks in my other thread "what scanner do I need"

You may want to try and limit yourself to one post, instead of making multiple posts. Perhaps a mod can merge these.

Anyway, I think most RCMP activity in your area is on the Guysborough talkgroup (7664), which is listed. At least I think that's the talkgroup I heard in use last time I was in Sherbrooke.
St. Mary's hospital shares the same talkgroup as Guysborough Memorial Hospital (16080), so they will both be heard on the same channel. I should update the database to reflect that they share it.
DOT (actually TIR, Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal) should be on the Guysborough talkgroup, 432.
And EHS activity would be on their North 2 talkgroup (37072) which covers eastern HRM, Guysborough, Pictou and Antigonish counties.

Hope that helps!

Melrose Tower Range Is 20 Miles (I am 15 Miles From It As The Crow Flies)
Ecum Secum Tower Ranger Is 15 Miles (I am 7.5 Miles From It As The Crow Flies)
Just thought I would add that info
I ordered a GRE PSR 600 and PSR 500
Should have them soon!

Keep in mind those distances in the database are "best guesses", your actual mileage (no pun intended) may vary depending on geography and topography.

As well, FD is using Shubie Radio Talk group for just basic comms to dispatch, otherwise we are still on VHF as we have horrid COverage zones for Here at TMR

Correct, St.Mary's/GMH share TG 16080
