Been listening to channel 14, Pinal County Operations. Whenever they dispatch a call in, they say go to channel 2.

I have been unable to find any SWA channel 2 listed in the database. I also tried doing a google search and got nothing.

Can anyone help me out here and figure out what frequency channel 2 would be on?

Thank you

I have seen reference to 461.4125 167.9 PL as Southwest Ambulance "Pinal Co TAC". I cannot confirm this. Let us know if you hear anything.

I tuned into the frequency and heard nothing for over an hour earlier today. However, I heard a unit talking on 465.950 and dispatch replying to that unit on 460.9500. Weird.....

UPDATE: looks like 460.9500 isn't channel 2. I was able to catch a call coming in through dispatch and switched to that channel and heard nothing.

Both PMT and SWA are owned by Rural/Metro. When they say go to channel 2, they mean Rural/Metro FD channel 2, 154.370, in order to respond with a R/M unit, or a unit from an FD that contracts with R/M for dispatch.

465.950 is the mobile input to 460.950. You were apparantly close enough to hear the amubulance directly. PMT/SWA's dispatch center is, I believe, in downtown Glendale, and I can frequently hear the dispatchers on the inputs. Apparantly, they don't use microwave or wireline controls from dispatch on at least some of their repeaters.

If someone in the East Valley can check on 453.1125, I can hear what sounds like an SWA dispatch on 458.1125. The input tone is 85.4.

AMR just bought RM. Most Fire departments that didn't transport already are going
to buy ambulance's and start transporting,

as someone mentioned already. RMFD Dispatch frequency is known as "Channel 2" (154.370) in Pinal its e841, E842 and E843 I believe. Also they run a TRV unit as well.
