Just heard LINCCentre talk to STAR-3 Aviation regards to a service provider on their analogue UHF repeater.
Sounds like there have been some changes to the repeater system, but sounded like the Aviation unit was analogue, not digital converted to analogue,

Yes all the helicopter traffic I've been hearing in the Edmonton area has been on UHF. I even hear the choppers on the input frequency as well. Not to say they don't also have an AFRRCS radio onboard. Perhaps dispatch is on AFRRCS and simulcast on UHF.
I'm fairly confident that Porcupine and Calgary are linked either permanently or most of the time. When crews fly down that direction, they make mention of being on the Porcupine repeater and can be heard on the Calgary main at the same time.
The few times that I've heard transmissions from, or on, the Porcupine repeater, its quality has been poor. Signal strength is always good but clarity leaves something to be desired.
