I don't recall the frequencies, but they are on an ASTRO digital system, just like the OPP are on, so you can't use an analog scanner to listen in.

The Brantford FD is now using the new 800mhz Edacs system the city
has installed. The good news is that they are not digital as are the
Police. Have been listening to them all weekend.
Can anyone tell me how I might be able to figure out the LCN for the

Etrunker will help determine frequencies but you still need to do a little
work yourself.

You first need to determine what frequencies the system is using by
searching. Once you think you've got all frequencies, run e-trunker and
match up the lcn's it finds with the frequencies you've already got.

   Just to clarify, Etrunk does not report frequencies, only channel
numbers not matched to frequencies.

   I've found it easiest to match LCNs with frequencies using a
second scanner. When a single analog user is cycling throught the
channels, sit on one unknown frequency at a time until a match occurs.

FRS doesn't meet it's potential, then again if it did, the cell companies 
would have a fit as customers would move from expensive cellular phones to 
cheap FRS.  
Here is an idea, build a system that uses digital communications, the radio 
contains an ADAC chip, mated with a modem circuit that then feeds into a 
standard HAM radio transceiver, between the ADAC and the modem, the audio is 
split into packets, each packet bears an identification code, so effectively 
multiple conversations, using different packet id's could use the same 
frequency.  Allocate say 10 frequencies with 256 packets id's in each and you 
have a system that allows 2560 simultanious conversations within the same 
area, simply by selecting the same frequency and packet id.  Since ham 
radio's have the potential for a much longer range then FRS does, you 
effectively have a system where the cost of a digital ham set and a licence, 
and you can communicate for free, with your range limit.

I like FRS just fine.... but its nothing more than a toy.
Its not even CB  - Cb at least has the potential for some range. FRS is 
just a cheap, easy way for people to either play or stay in 
communication with each other.

Steve, since I posted to Bob earlier today, the only TG's I have seen are 529, 534,
& 535. These are all Btfd FD units talking amongst themselves and Control. No rhyme
or reason to these ID's yet. 534 only used once, and I wasn't near the radio to tell
you what it was.

Only thing positively ID'ed so far is TG 111 as PD (Digital) and TG 211 as
Brantford Fire's primary channel. (Analog) I've heard both station pages and
regular call comms. on 211.
FWIW, radio ID 170D is a FD dispatch console. I've only logged 7 TGs with
ETrunk so far, and a total of 60 radio IDs.

Why donąt you use the radio you said you had in message 13896?
Something's kind of fishy.  You buy a top of the line xts3000r (just like
Toronto fire has) but you didn't buy a charger?  Seems to me if you had the
money for an xts3000r then you really wouldn't be worrying about the price
of a charger.

Well I still have to find a charger for the other radio which I’m
hopping to have soon. As I don’t’ know a lot about the Motorola radios
and found out it’s not that easy to get the programming done I am going
to look for another radio that can to the Police stuff…
 
I have checked all my normal used places and see some but don’t know the
ones that will work best that’s why…

Subject: RE: Brantford
Brantford FD currently doing radio checks. Strange thing happening, it seems
every time dispatch keys up or releases PTT, radio Id 0AFA keys right away.
Makes seeing radio IDs nearly impossible, but the odd one gets through.
Anyone else seeing this?
Bob

I was going to point out Bryan's group mrmg on Yahoogroups but he beat me to
it.  You're probably wise to move the discussion over to that group.
You might also want to check with Toronto PS and have that radio checked
out.  Sounds like it's stolen to me.
