Mercy Flight WNY

[BTFire21]

Does anyone know if 453.175 which is licensed to both Sloan FD and Mercy Flight is just for Lancaster/Cheektowaga to Mercy Flight or if that will be available county wide? I see it is listed now in the Town of Lancaster's new channels.

Mercy Flight is also assigned the following frequency: 155.8275 MHz under the callsign: WQJZ818 located in Buffalo, as for them providing countywide coverage, DaveNF2G has a website: http://nf2g.com which may address that issue or contact him directly.

I believe 453.175 is used by Mercy Flight Central, not the Buffalo area Mercy Flight.

Dave Mercy Flight of WNY is licensed by the FCC as WQJZ818 as found by doing a simple search on fcc.gov

I have all of their frequencies on my website. The point I was trying to make is that there is more than one Mercy Flight service in New York State and they have different home frequencies. Mercy Flight Central, with bases in Canandaigua and Marcellus, uses 453.175 MHz as their main operating channel. Mercy Flight, based in Buffalo, does not.

dave is correct ive done some minor research into this topic. the frequncies are diffrent

[BTFire21]

I have now confirmed that Mercy Flight of WNY is in fact now using 453.175. This frequency qill be used by them for comms that occur on 155.715.

A look at the license grant date for WQJZ818, which was 02/27/2009, should make it readily apparent that Mercy Flight WNY only recently started operating on these UHF frequencies, which previously only Mercy Flight Central operated on. It really doesn't matter what they did in the past, these things tend to evolve and change over time, hence the reason for new licenses being granted in the first place. Sounds like the RR database and Dave's site need updating, not the other way around.

If an update is needed, I will be happy to make it.

Since the new frequency for MFWNY is confirmed, what is the PL tone or DCS code in use?
