Toronto Fire Training

[fireuser]

I'm using a Uniden BCD436HP to scan TFS from within the city. I can't seem to pickup any of the training channels. I have them selected and active in sentinel.

Looking for suggestions

Thanks

How long have you been trying to listen to them? They are only active from time to time and sometimes training exercises end up happening on tac channels instead when it’s quiet or depending how long they are training for.

Make sure you have Fire Talk as a Service Type enabled in your Settings. They were in use last week.

Now that you mention it, I logged 1337 as a talkgroup last week. This would likely be TFS Training 4 which was missing in the database. (I have since added it.)

Thanks for your responses. The setting for "Fire Talk as a Service Type" enabled - is that on the scanner or in Sentinel ?
Enjoi - I have a friend that can confirm the training channel

So to check by hand manually, push the Function and ZIP/SERVICES button. Scroll through to Fire Talk and Enable if it is off.

Thanks again. I checked and Dispatch, Fire Tac and Fire Talk are all enabled. No joy
I'll keep trying

And you're monitoring the site(s) that are broadcasting the training comms?

I can pickup South & West from where I am.

Figured things out..
I still had "Project 25" in my Favorites even thought I had recently updated the database and written it.
Full write with new selection, and manually enabling Fire Tac and Fire Talk fixed the problem
I can receive the 6 training channels and talk-around now,
