465.7875 CYXX Fire (DMR Slot 1, Colour Code 10) (WAS MISSING IN PREVIOUS LIST ABOVE)
Is 465.7875 just the input to a rptr on 460.7875?
TAFL says it's a rptr pair (callsign VFW651).

The Snowbirds landed at YXX yesterday afternoon. They will be leaving the airshow on Sunday right after their performance/end of day to head to Comox then will be joining the Martin Mars Waterbomber along the coast of Vancouver Island (Flying in formation!) and scheduled to arrive in Pat Bay (Victoria area) around 6pm-6:30PM.

I was told that BCAS "Planned events" (964 - Special Operations) won't be at the AIA due to funding/budget issues.

You could also have the MCI 1 & 2 programmed in your radio as well as other simplex frequencies like PEPCORD.
Medical is being handled by St. John Ambulance, using DMR simplex comms (sometimes with ARS/IRRP) and they are encrypted for the most part (some radios are left in the clear ..read more

The whole time we were up there, we didn't hear Kelowna FD say they were switching to a tac ch.
We did find other stuff we needed, from RDCO and nearby regional districts, thanks to wildfire suppression activities by some small local and assisting volunteer fire depts (some of whom were using Baofengs). It can be quite difficult to obtain channel info from small volunteer departments because you have to be within radio range when the action is occurring, so we really lucked out.
