Hello.
I am just wondering if anyone can help me out here.
I have been looking at the torch relay map and see that it will be coming to my neck of the woods here in Northern Ontario like to Iroquois Falls and then Timmins and eventually Wawa. And just wondering if anyone might be able to give me an idea as to what freq's and channels everyone might be using.
Like would the RCMP be following them all the way and if so. What channels might they be using. Because for Iroquois Falls, Timmins and Wawa, there is no system up here for them to use, like they won't be able to use their main channels like they would down in Ottawa and Toronto and everywhere else down south. So just wondering if they would have back up SIM channels to use in this case or what kind of channels they would use when and if they do talk.
Also for the OPP. From what I have read in this post. They will probably use a TAC Channel. And would they probably use any other TALKGROUPS. Just wondering so it will give me and my friend a heads up as to what TALKGROUPS we can maybe expect to see used when it comes up our way. And also would they use other UHF channels as well other than their main VR01 portable channel.
And if there is any other channels and freq's I should know about that they might use when they come up this way that will be good and worth while to listen to.
Just wondering so it will give us a heads up as to what to have in our scanners the day it comes. If anyone can give me some ideas. That is all I am looking for.
So I will be waiting for any replies to my reply. Thanks.
Coolguy.
Karlo: The frequencies listed in post #1 were used when they passed thru my town.
420.4125 PL136.5 Analog/Clear - Logistics
425.5750 P25/DES-OFB - Security (KF's or forgetful switch operators present
In my region (Halton) they used a special events talkgroup, In Hamilton they used PTac5, I think that talkgroup is used during special events (like a TigerCats game). The OPP were active on their usual Burlington/Niagara patch.
I do not know who does your policing in your listening area, if it is the OPP perhaps they will use a Tac channel or whatever the regular talkgroup is up 'there.'
I heard plenty of noise on the encrypted frequency listed and some chatter on the analog frequency but it was hard to hear.
Pretty boring if you ask me, it might be more fun to see it than scan it.
