Some more unknowns I managed to snag while in Toronto today. Also did manage to get the ROM's system and I also noticed that the Hospital for Sick Kids actually has two sites..
453.8875 Cap+ CC 7 TG 201 security.. strong at Yonge and Wellesley, Toronto Rehab is licensed on this, so maybe them?
454.2000 DMR CC 9 TG 10 security heard while walking up Yonge between Wellesley and College
462.2375 DMR CC 5 TG 10
462.2375 DMR CC 3 TG 1000 I heard this two while walking along Bloor between Yonge and Queens Park. 2 Bloor East (Hudson's Bay Centre) is licensed on this frequency and both has a decent signal where I was compared to HBC. So maybe one of them is this.
460.9250 DMR CC 11 TG 5779 security.. heard this one before.. this freq is licensed to One Queen East.. so maybe it's them. I was at Elm and University I heard this with a full signal
452.2625 DMR CC 9 TG 100 Not sure.. heard it with a fair signal a Wellington and Yonge

Matt

Some great finds, Matt. The Toronto Rehab one looks promising, also. I have to seem them carry XPR330's

452.2625 seems extremely popular. CAMH Queen St is also on this on DCC9 with a very strong signal.

From a couple days at University and Dundas, where I just left DSDPlus as passive monitor, I logged:



Cap+ Site 1 DCC8 Ch 1/2
Unk
TG 1 (security?, ref to Yonge entrance)
TG 2
TG 3

Possibly Women's College Hospital or Toronto Western?
TG 50 security (ref to PW2, PW3, KW5, P1, P2, ER. 8th fl east wing, ICU)
TG 60 maintenance

Cap+ Site1 DCC9 Ch1/2 Likely Hudsons Bay Centre (2 Bloor St E)
TG 1 Security (S3, S4, concourse, lobby, elevators, 3rd fl, 1B, west concourse, food court)
TG 2

Cap+ Site1 DCC10 likely U Condos 1080 Bay St and 65 St Mary St
TG 500 Maintenance (ref to east tower garbage chute, P1, P2, GFL coming to pick up)
TG 600

Cap+ Site1 DCC11 (billy bishop?)
TG 253 (atrium)
TG 254 Maintenance (gate 2 & 6)

Cap+ Site1 DCC12
TG 4005 Housekeeping (“Reception to Maintenance” “Reception to Utilities” RID 201, Fitness Centre)

I was up on the mountain scanning today and heard CC 10 today with them using TG 500 but it wasn't a Cap+ just conventional DMR .. but came in as a DMR.. It very much sounds like what you heard and sounds definitely like a condo. I did hear them being called up to Suite 2810 with a sliding door issue in the west tower.

It does look like U-Condos does have a West tower as well which is 45 floors high so its very possible that this could be them.

Both commerce court and FCP have very strong repeaters. I'm surprised I've never heard any voice traffic on their systems. I'm surprised FCP would have two separate sites.

I was in the city today for a bit and notice that Commerce Court also has a second site on 453.8875 RAN 2 but didn't hear any voice.

While downtown I picked up another unknown around the hospital area over on University.
408.0125 dmr cc 1 tg 100010 not sure said something about he was in the western something.. not sure who this is.

I was on the train back and around where the Ontario Food Terminal area is heard..
461.7500 dmr cc 9 tg 2.. not sure where this is but there nothing licensed in the city on this frequency.

I wouldn't either.. I haven't heard anything on this frequency that could match being a hospital so maybe next time I am down in Toronto in the following month or so I will go search it out as well.

Mount Sinai and Toronto Rehab still remain a mystery to me. I believe they are both running DMR. From the TAFL listings, MSH is in the 408 range, So I wouldn't be surprised if that frequency you found Matt (408.0125) is them.

Hopefully when I am back in the city probably in May that its a bit warmer then it has been. I wanted to do more scanning but it was too cold just standing outside. LOL. I will see if I can figure out Rehab/Mt Sinai this time around.
I remember a long time ago, maybe it was on ScanOnt, someone posted the frequency (453.8375) and the P25 NAC code that the CBC building on Front. I have no idea what the NAC code is and it is not listed in the database.

In the short time I was in the area I didn't hear any activity on the frequency. Anyone know if they still use P25?

Still trying to confirm Toronto Rehab on 453.8875, Ch 1/2, Site 2, DCC 12. This frequency is licensed to them on TAFL. But could be Mt. Sinai since I hear references to University Av ramp and centre doors, both of which Sinai has. It's definitely a hospital of some sort though.

TG 1 Security (University Av ramp, centre doors, information desk, emergency. CODE BLUE)
TG 3 Mechanics (Annex bldg)
TG 4 Linen?
TG 5 PCL Construction
TG 8 Security Patrols (Echo & Tango units)

TG 1 and 2 have the most traffic. A month ago I also logged a bunch of other TGs on 453.8875 with DCC 12 that may be part of other systems. I had 101, 103, 201, 204, 246, 253 and 254 logged but reception was poor and there weren't enough hits to figure out who/what they were.

I also noted I couldn't find any Cap+ beacons on the other Mt Sinai and Toronto Rehab TAFL-listed frequencies that would match for a "Site 1."

I went into Mt. Sinai today with a stubby antenna and more then likely it's them due to the screaming signal. I think the biggest giveaway is traffic related to contractors and PCL construction since MSH is undergoing a major construction project. In addition to mentions of the information and and security desks.

I was back in the city today and sat outside of the CBC Broadcasting Centre this morning. I didn't hear any comm's but they definitely are using a Cap+ system now. Also sat outside the Art Gallery Of Ontario and if the one I heard is correct then they are using a Cap+ as well but all comm's are encrypted. I will go through what I heard today and post it later.

I also heard a bit more action on 413.2125 Cap+ CC 9 today. On TG 100 I heard something about a transfer to CCCT
TG 120 Sounded like maintenance of some type.. Need to go to Unit 15, Sounded like Parlour Block 159 or something similar? The lounge sink needs to be checked.
