Subject: One last radar comment...

Just wanted to pass along a very interesting radar detector test/roundup
that I came across... And according to it, there are already a few models
of detector that the Specter RDD can't (currently) detect.

The chess game continues! :)

Subject: halton police (edacs) trunk id

I own a trunk tracker II. I programmed the Halton police frequencies
and searched for group id. I then programmed the id's I found. I'm
still having difficulty listening to halton. Does anyone know were I
can get all the id number? Or maybe I didn't program my scanner
properly. Help!!!
Ben.

Any radio receiver will emit a IF frequency, thats all a detector is.

    Interesting to note..
    I was pulled over last summer near London by an OPP. He demanded I give him my radar detector. Obviously, I was like "WTF?" Anyway, it turns out my ham rig (RadioShack HTX242) emitted an IF frequency that triggered their detector detector.

    It took a lot of talking and demonstrating, but he let me on my way.

    Which begs the question...if I had that AND the detector, then proved to him the radio set it off.... :)

Hello,

    Does anybody know anything about Buckhorn PD/OPP? (Located right outside of Peterborough 30 km) I am having a hard time finding frequencies and 10-codes. Also Fire Department and Ambulances?
Thanks Alot,

Subject: Re: Re: Radar Detecters

Although a radar detector (receiver) CAN emit significant energy at the intermediate frequency, it is usually it's Local Oscillator that 'leaks' enough energy out of it's own antenna (which, by the way, is directional and is pointed right ahead at
the police car) to be easily detected. This has been the traditional detection method, and works very well.

For many years, radar detectors were designed according to a simple 'rule of thumb' that dictated that an IF should be about 10-20% of the desired frequency to be received. That in turn dictated the LO frequency.
The manufacturers of the VG-2 'detector-detector', thus knew what frequency(s) to look for with their unit! Simple! The 'stealth' products that were initially successful deviated from the 10-20% design philosophy, thus defeating the VG-2, which
would be searching for the wrong frequencies.

One way that could possibly be used to detect stealth detectors would be to have a fast frequency-agile LO in the police unit that could search for any suspected violator LO frequency in a matter of a second or two. This agile LO could be
programmed to ignore ranges used by, for example, cellular telephone services, microwave relay towers, etc. Additionally, the receiver in which this LO was installed could be programmed to look for a rapid increase in signal strength as a vehicle
approached. The programming could be extended to detect the doppler effect of a violator suddenly braking if he sees a police car or police officer ahead.

So what we have here is a guess at the technology that Mike might have encountered. No doubt the officer had not been educated about ham radios. Perhaps the unit was not programmed to take amateur frequency assignments into account. Perhaps it's
not as sophisticated as I imagine, and

Check out the web site Brad Smith provided. The Spectre manufacturer states they will not discuss the technology involved with other than law enforcement officials. However, please take note that everything I have speculated about in this post
incorporates technology we are already familiar with. eg, high scan speeds, programmable search ranges, military ECM equipment, inexpensive consumer microwave equipment (satellite receivers&antennas)

This has turned out to be a long answer to a short question. It is a bit off topic for scanning, but there are a lot of related links. Feedback welcome.

Arthur

PS: Thanks to Chris Fortner for referring us to a very informative web site. Chris, I read it through after writing the above. There's no more to add!

Lindsay CACC services this area ... I'm not sure about the fire department, but search for Harvey Township Fire Department in any scanner lists.

I don't know about police.

Just know this because my girlfriend's parents live there. I'm sure the fire department wouldn't be that busy, especially right now, so you may have to wait awhile to confirm the frequency.

Okay, I did some investigating ... looks like these below are some that you can try. Someone else closer to the area might be able to help, I've never programmed my scanner for that area.

Fire 164.6850 Harvey Township

Fire 169.5450 Harvey Township

One of these two for the local ambulance ... someone else might be able to help with which frequency would dispatch the buckhorn area.

Ambulance 149.1700 Lindsay CACC

Ambulance 151.9100 Lindsay CACC

There is no Peterborough CACC, so I'm not sure about this one.... but asking my girlfriend it would either be the Peterborough unit or the Bobcaygeon unit that would respond (it's almost equal distance).

Ambulance 149.8450 118.8 Hz Peterborough CACC

One of these probably for police (OPP)...

Police 143.0100 F1 Lakefield

Police 139.8000 F2 Lakefield Simplex

149.170 is the input for 149.605, the provincial TAC channel.

TAFL shows a repeater close by in Bobcaygeon on 151.910.

> Ambulance 149.8450 118.8 Hz Peterborough CACC

Again from TAFL, 149.845 with a repeater on the MNR tower in
Peterborough.
