Will the Lowell and Lawrence General ALS units still be on Med-9?

[cmed325]

yes matt i believe so.The med channels that will be assigned to the north shore/merrimack valley services are being determined still,however i believe med 9 will still be the primary channel for these units.The med channels that will be used will be unique to each region to prevent co-channel problems.
