This system was a component of the NS Integrated Mobile Radio System, which has largely been replaced by the 800 MHz NS Trunked Mobile Radio System.  The DNR grid is thought to have been shut down in approximately 2001 when operations moved to the NSTMRS.   It may be possible that the actual repeaters are still in place but not operational.
The indicated dial-up code was used by a unit in one area in order to connect with a distant repeater.   The user brought up the local repeater and dialed the distant one by inputting the dial-up code.  Note that the dial-up code is the site number + 200.  It was possible for DNR users to be connected to the other networks in the system by dialing the operator at Shubie Radio (dial-up code = 0) who would make a manual patch.

It may be interesting to note that at one time frequencies in the 160's were commonly used by Forest Services and similar departments across Canada.

Tones shown are not confirmed, except that those in the area of Halifax are known to have been 82.5.
