I hear MECC (Metro Emergency Comm Center) dispatch and the "ops" okay. However, dispatch will say "respond on XEMS1 " and I never hear that nor can I find anything in the DB. Any ideas... Thanks

EMS1 is on the Franklin Co Analog system for Columbus Fire (who have not switched yet). It is used for EMS runs in the City of Columbus.

There is a EMS1 on the new Columbus system but it isn't used yet.

I may be misunderstanding the confusion about talk group naming, but the Columbus Fire tg goes out over the radio/Locution as "9 EMS 1" and the MECC tg as "MECC EMS 1" (or as "16 MECC EMS 1" when Columbus dispatches a mutual aid run for MECC).
