Tags suggestions for Ottawa

[fmoore]

This is a bit of a large one, but when it comes to the Ottawa area P25 and Turris systems I have organized my Tags slightly differently than the data base and was curious as to know if we could arrange it accordingly. I will make a separate post for Turris.
For P25:

Fire: no change

OC transpo: No change
Then I added
City Of Ottawa Corporate Security including City hall security, Ben Franklin Place and an unidentified 2043 tag for security at what I am guessing as a city building somewhere.

2010 my use of "U" is my scanner code to say its not been submitted yet.

This are Turris Changes:
I have divided up the Ottawa Area tags into:
Ottawa Airport
Ottawa Area Business
Ottawa Area Security
Ottawa Police Service

I have used some of your suggestions and made description modifications for P25. I'm going to continue sorting them by their description name for easier locating, alphabetically.

I hope others will take your initiative and further sort them categorically to their liking with whatever software they are using.

I have divided up the Ottawa Area tags into:
Ottawa Airport
Ottawa Area Business
Ottawa Area Security
Ottawa Police Service

Since the Ottawa area talkgroups are starting to expand in it's single subcategory, I think it would be a good idea to subdivide.

Thanks for all the hard work! I very much appreciate it. As indicated you have been at this longer than I have and it was only a suggestion.

On another note there are a number of inactive systems in the Ottawa area, unless it is just me and my base location and monitoring while driving(I have a passenger that takes notes) .
The following systems I have been monitoring with no activity:
Rideau Centre
Parliament Hill
Ottawa Hospital (Civic Campus)
Ottawa Community Housing Corp
I am guessing that all of these have moved over to Turris or another unidentified system.
Any thoughts?

This can be lumped in with the Turris suggestion but I did contact The "Ottawa Film Office" via facebook and they did confirm that The movie that was being filmed on campus at Algonquin College is called "Hotwired in Suburbia" so that can give one more idea as to who owns the radios.

Rideau Centre is confirmed new DMR system but has very short range. I was able to hear the idle bursts from a few hundred metres away, but not very strong.

House of Commons Moto system went away years ago, where the activity went is a minor mystery. Parliament Hill went P25 as DB shows, encrypted I think. Same story, no TGs listed.

Civic Hospital LTR system has one TG listed, for three Home Repeaters. If that's all you scan for, no wonder nothing is heard. It's also limited range, a few km at best. I heard activity within the last year, probably still active.

[fmoore]

That would explain why there is "no" activity on those, thanks!
Frank

 

[DaveH]

That said, all Ottawa Hospital 864/865MHz LTR channels still have idle bursts, but have listened for a few days and hear no activity. Question is where activity has gone. I visit Civic from time to time, Security no longer carries the bulky LTR handhelds (Kenwood I think).

I will check out the General next time I am in town.
