Enbridge/Consumers CTCSS TONE
 

I have a frequency for Consumers/Enbridge Gas in the Niagara Region, there
is a CTCSS noise/marker on the frequency that locks the scanner up, the
CTCSS tone that comes up is 100.0 but when I put this tone in with the
frequency it does not cancel out the noise on the frequency. Does any one in
the Niagara area know if 100.0 is the tone or if not could you provide the
right tone for me to listen to this frequency .

Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by "put this tone in with the frequency".

CTCSS should stop any signal which is not accompanied by the proper
tone. It does not cancel out a signal, but only permits a signal which
contains the tone to open the squelch.

Try entering a different tone. Since only the correct tone will let the
signal open the squelch any other tone should silence the receiver.
If it does silence it then the noise contains a 100Hz tone.
If it does not silence the noise then you are not setting it up
correctly.

Thanks but I already know this, I have a bc250d scanner

If you are using a Radio Shack scanner like the PRO-92 or PRO-2067 make
sure that the bank is in closed mode. If you post the scanner you are
using
it will enable others to help you.
