ScannerDesk VA3DBJ - GMCP - Fleetnet-ScannerDesk VA3DBJ

Bell Fleetnet/GMCP/BMR refers to the province-wide Government of Ontario radio system that will eventually span about 80% of the province. Fleetnet is a Motorola SmartZone Type II wide-area mixed-mode trunked radio system. Fleetnet is made up of four ‘zones’ – Zone 1 encompasses all of Southwestern Ontario, Zone 2 consists of all of Eastern Ontario, Zone 3 consists of northern Ontario and Zone 4 is the far north-western Ontario. Fleetnet is operated by Bell Mobility Radio (a separate division of Bell Mobility cellular).

The primary user of Fleetnet is the Ontario Provincial Police, who operate on unencrypted P25 compatable talkgroups (you will need a digital scanner to monitor them). Current users of Fleetnet consist of:

Ontario Provincial Police
Ministry of Health (Ambulance Dispatch and Hospital Patches
Ministry of Natural Resources
Ministry of Transportation
Ministry of Corrections
Municipal public safety agencies (the City of Guelph, for example)

Only the towers that cover Durham Region will be covered on this page, with the exception of the west end of Zone 2. For Zone 2, I have included the Cobourg and Peterborough area, as you can receive it from the Clarington area. Also there are some co-operative operations that occur during the summer months.

The frequencies and talkgroups for the GMCP/Fleetnet system in the Durham Region area are available as a bcTool import file, are downloadable from the Software and Files page.

The following are links to the ScanOnt FAQ, that will help answer a few trunk questions. For information on Motorola status bits, click the "What is Trunking?"
