Where are all the Saskatchewan Scanner listeners?

[gs_new]

Holy! Am I the only one? There has to be a few of us, oh yeah they are probably all in Alberta! Oh well say hi to my brother. Seriously though is anyone else out there?

On a side note is there any way to catch any of the amateur or shortwave repeaters in Regina on a scanner. Currently I only have my stubby antenna and a 3' mag mount antenna from my work that I use on my Pro 97.

The closest city to here in Regina is Moose Jaw about 45 miles away. If I were to throw a small antenna on my roof would I be able to pickup more freqs?

You've gotta give them time to drive back from Calgary after watching your guys whipping our butts on the weekend in the football game. I was stuck in that traffic for years last Sunday.

Just kidding. Keep posting and eventually people will come out to play..

You can find the local frequencies for the RCMP in the database on Radio Reference. Here is a link to a list of the old RCMP VHF frequencies used province wide in Saskatchewan.

http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&aid=2045

As I said, those are the old frequencies. You will find Big River using Ch 9 (Local) for car to car communications, and one or more of the other frequencies for longer range communications. Plug in all 12 channels (don't bother with the "Input" frequencies) and start scanning. You should hear something, unless they've moved to the new system.

The RCMP in Saskatchewan are moving to a new digital VHF trunked radio network. Right now they are using both the new and old systems. I do not know if Big River has been converted to the new system yet or not. The new system is P25 digital, so you will need a digital scanner. There are a few frequencies for the new system in the database.

http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&sid=4632

The frequencies for the new system should be in the 138 to 140 MHz range. I would search that range, looking for a digital control channel signal. The control channel signal will be a continuous data signal, and should not be hard to find. You will have to continue to search the same range looking for the voice channels though. There may be 4 or 5 of them.

Hope this helps.

There is quite a bit you can listen too.

I did a search at IC for all licences from 30Mhz to 900Mhz, within a 25km radius of Big River. Download this text file.

You have Sasktel Fleetnet in you area, but the frequencies listed for your area don't seem to match any system in the RR database. So if you have a trunktracker, programming fleetnet in will be difficult. Hope this helps!

Holy crap!

I just looked at that text file Industry Canada made up, and what a bleeping mess. Ahhh Government....don't get me started.

Here try this one instead.

They all ( mostly ) have laptop computers in there cars, and therefore hardly need to use radios anymore... and they use cell phones also.....

EMS in your area are on Sasktel Fleetnet. What TG they operate on is not known, but they are definately on Fleetnet.

Saskatchewan Scanner Listeners

Maybe we should get together and post all to a common website.
you may contact myself if you are interested in doing something similiar.

I have some frequencies for the east side of the province, which I could add:

If only there was a site where they had some kind of radio reference and maybe even a database you could submit said frequencies & information to...

( hint: http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&stid=112 and http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR_Submit&t=3&xid=112 )

Frequency Database

well, I didn't mean anything by my previous post...this website is absolutely super, but sometimes it would be more convenient to share different frequencies among the many smaller communities in the province....on a more local basis....without paying a subscription fee for only a few frequencies. Another site I was on was also great, in that if you uploaded information about your area, then the site was free for a limited time...which I think would be a great Idea...but only a suggestion don't take it the wrong way....

I do plan on subscribing anyhow to your site.


ttyl and all the best....

Access to the frequencies and other database information is totally free. The only things which require a "subscription fee" are using the advanced searches and the extra added-value features like downloading a CSV file, etc. The guy who runs this site has always offered the database stuff for free and has promised it will remain that way.
