who is this

while doing a search i keep getting a stop on 462.9500 you hear a computer voice saying a room number and location such as east west wing. thats it.

That's MED 9 of the EMSCOM system, but one of the hospitals is using it for paging. Possibly connected to a bed alarm that patients can activate.

Thanks!!

There was a thread on this very subject about a year or so ago. After much discussion I think it was agreed that it must be hospital paging, but no one could confirm that's what it was or where it was coming from. It was driving me crazy so I finally locked out the freq. I threatened to sit in some hospital parking lots for awhile and see if I could locate it, but I never did.

I had a fairly strong signal at my house, so I figured it wasn't too far from me, but I soon discovered I had fairly consistent/strong signal over most of the NW Valley, so I don't know.

I think this is the link to the old thread if you want to see what was said back in February.

EMSCOM, once managed by DPS here in Arizona, is no longer used anyway, (at least not in the metro Phoenix area) with two exceptions. This unknown hospital bed alarm paging on Med 9, and Southwest Ambulance using Med 10 as their channel 11, with a different CTCSS than EMSCOM used.
