Monitor The Bell FLEX Network and Coverage - Ontario & Québec

As well as Rogers?

Am I able to monitor the alphanumeric pager signals that keep squawking on
the scanner.

Thanks for the low down,  I assume that even with the Uniden Bearcat 
Scanner Trunktracker 3 BC785D, with optional BCi25D APCO Project 
Digital Card for 3600 baud, the encryption is the other roadblock.

Yes, it's very easy to monitor POCSAG (older) and FLEX (newer) pagers,
however it is illegal.
Look for a program called POCFLEX.  It runs (I think) in Windows, and
needs a dataslicer to work.
I've never used this before, but I've seen it working before, pretty
cool.
There's also a program called POC32 for windows that decodes pocsag
pagers (the 149.770 and 140.160 variety) through your soundcard.

The London system is not P25 compatible, so even without encryption,
you'd be SOL.
I don't know if Ericsson even makes a P25 radio.  But I know for a fact
London is not P25, by virtue that an Astro Spectra won't decode them,
and that their system is so old..ie..before P25 was "the norm".

What kind of Bell Towers?
If you mean cell phone towers, the only place to go is Steve Punter's 
website.
http://www.arcx.com/sites/
Its got maps of not only Bell's cell towers, but all of the other 
companies.
Hope thats of  some help to you.

Subject: how to decode 940.525 & 940.2625 paging signals
Hi all.
I've got a working 2 & 4 level decoder, working in the Winflex 
software program, and it works great
for the 931mhz flex stuff, but it will not decode the 
signals on 940.525, and 940.2625.
These are listed in TAFL as Rogers Wireless paging channels,
but the data sounds like it is at a much higher rate than Flex.
Anyone tried this?
Also the 2 & 4 level decoder will not decode some of the paging 
services in the 414Mhz band. 
Anyone have any luck with those?
Regards,
Glen

I believe that frequencies in the 940 MHz band are links between 
transmitter sites.  Those in the 414 band definitely are links.  They 
may use different data protocols than the actual pager transmissions.
Not sure where you were looking, but a TAFL search shows those 
frequencies belonging to Madison Telecommunications and Bell Mobility, 
not Rogers.

No, the 245 is the Mark II trunktracker. Its new features was EDACS & non-800/900 systems, multi-system scan, trunked/conventional, computer control and a few other perks. It came out over four years ago.

No, the new one is the 250D. The 245 is the upgrade from the 235 and the 250D is the upgrade from the 245.
My 245 is still up for sale and I'll throw in 100 feet of LM 400 to sweeten the deal. It's mint, 18 months old and comes with leather case, programming cable, original owners manual, stock ducky and charger.
