Then on the radio why do they refer to them as "Squad"
and as "Rescue" units. If they are the same thing why
use both?

hehe...

You need equipment that will triangulate their output
radius.

I wonder if you can make a homemade triangulator with
a reciever that has input levels and a directional
yagi. Of course you will need to make this device
mobile, otherwise you will have to have three units.

Subject: Re: Toronto Fire units

In Toronto: Squads and rescue's arent the same thing.

Squads are apparatus devoted to rescue equipment, and don't have hoses
or water on board.
Rescue's are 'rescue pumpers', basically a regular pumper with some
rescue equipment on board. Rescues look like regular pumpers with the
hoses and water and everything.

If you take the time and go out to one of the calls that you hear these
trucks are on, you can see for yourself. All the apparatus are clearly
labelled.

I don't have any equipment, unless my BC-750 or my

That would be fun... You see it on the movies all the

Re-read my earlier message.... they aren't the same. A "rescue" is a well
equipped pumper while a "squad" is what Lamar described.

Obviously these Ham radios are not hand helds if they
can juice 40 - 50 watts.  Shouldn't be too hard to

What area of Oakville are they in?

Subject: MISC freques
Hi folks: 
By using TAFL and just searching up and down the different freque ranges I have found a bunch that are registered to things like "oxford communications", "kenair communications", "Midwestern communications", and "Vanplue electronics"...now I here traffic on these, there are 2 or 3 for each company. Also, each frequency ahs like 2 or 3 or 4 users or businesses on them. I suppose these are companies that just sell and maintain the equipment? I don't suppose there is a way to tell who each user is without listening to them and trying to figure it out. I have found a couple of companies that I know, a dead livestock place, a septic tank pumping service and superior propane...besides that I still can't figure out who else uses them. 
Would UPS or Fed EX use something like this? I have heard a company using things like "dispatch from 162 I am clear at 17:23 with 2" and "car 238 I'm out with pick-up at Kincardine depot"...anyone ever hear UPS or any of the big parcel carriers?

Today I noticed the NRPS are starting to use their built in Astro encryption. So much for those who bought their unit specifically for that. A never understood the logic on why police would want to encrypt their everyday highly predictable content of their regular OPS channel transmissions. Its like saying to a hacker...well heres all the radio transmissions you need, this is what we will be talking about, now just figure out the rest. If I was their radio tech I would just use encryption on the TAC channels for this very reason. Just another reason Im glad I dont live there any more and bought my unit for many other reasons. Their dispatch still seems to be using normal digital comms but dont know for how long.

Most large courier companies use data services on their own network or

There are two types of ambulance communications on uhf.
The first are the mobile repeaters installed in the vehicles.  You must be
close to a vehicle (with the repeater on) to hear these.
The second type which Randy is listening to are the links back from the
remote receive and transmit sites.  Signals are picked up at various sites
in the dispatch area and relayed back to the comm centre on these uhf
frequencies.  Georgian ambulance has a couple of frequencies like this.
IIRC, Grey-Bruce uses a mux'd uhf link for this purpose.  They combine the
audio from several receivers at a site and transmit it back to the comm
centre which splits it back apart into the separate audio streams.  You will
not be able to listen to these links.

> Today I noticed the NRPS are starting to use their built in Astro
encryption. So much for those who bought their unit specifically for that. A
never understood the logic on why police would want to encrypt their
everyday highly predictable content of their regular OPS channel
transmissions. Its like saying to a hacker...well heres all the radio
transmissions you need, this is what we will be talking about, now just
figure out the rest. If I was their radio tech I would just use encryption
on the TAC channels for this very reason. Just another reason Im glad I dont
live there any more and bought my unit for many other reasons. Their
dispatch still seems to be using normal digital comms but dont know for how
long.

Just wondering S..  How can you tell they are using Astro encryption?  I
heard they were going to it, but not for a while.  They have been
Digital for awhile now, but to my knowledge, not encrypted.

John, I don't know if anyone has pointed it out to you but it's pretty hard
to find your replies to messages.  Try to leave some space between your
reply and the text your are quoting.  Or better yet, strip out all the crap
which doesn't need to be requoted.
I doubt Randy could hear these links from his place.  I think he was
referring to uhf links that are used out in Renfrew.  Most dispatch centres
have them.
As far as hearing Georgian, does Georgian even dispatch anywhere close to
where you are?  I thought you were out by Port Elgin and the closest
Georgian would go is Collingwood.  Try searching between 410 and 420 and see
what you come up with.
