Greenville County EMS

[ki4rdl]

Greenville County EMS has switched from 462.950 to Palmetto 800 Talk group 44065. And went back to tone out with quick call 2. I haven't heard if they have a tac on there yet like 462.975. I live near caesars head so when I monitor it I only hear SC Highway patrol, Greenville County EMS and The greenville county sheriff's office.

Thanks. That information has been added to the database.. There is a similar discussion already taking place in the thread below regarding Greenville Co Sheriff.

Running "Discovery Mode" I found 44066 in use.

I don’t know if my poor beloved scanner has died or not, but I was able to hear GCSO once the other night after updating it but am no longer able to hear anything? I’m not hearing any traffic? Grecom PSR-800. Anyone else having issues? I’m located in Northern Greenville County. Haven’t been able to hear any EMS traffic.

@JamesBrown34 You should, but with the simulcast system, it will be difficult without upgrading to an SDS series radio or going to a commercial series like Unication.

@JamesBrown34 What site are you monitoring? Ceasars Head?

Did EMS go with multiband radios? I saw a couple of Medics come in the Chick Fil Lay in TR with new looking yellow handhelds and speaker mics on Friday.

I'm listening to the Paris Mtn site and seem to be okay with the simulcast rf.

Opinions on whether to mark the "old' UHF EMS channels as deprecated in the database?

I marked the UHF Sheriff office channels as deprecated very soon after they switched to UHF, but now I read that there is still some use of the UHF channels. Did the SO also adopt dual-band radios, or did they not yet remove UHF radios from cars?

 

[mlindler]

UHF is still in both SO and EMS for the time being.

UHF is still in both SO and EMS for the time being.

Agreed, though it seems most have moved to the 800 system, But still hearing comms from EMS and Sheriff on the old UHF frequencies.

 

[KMG54]

460.550 for the Sheriff has been busy the last few days.

The Greenville County Medics had radios that matched the form factor for the APX6000 although the APX8000 looks the same from a distance. I keep 462.950 (MED 9) in my Kenwood dual band mobile and have not heard anything on it since the switch over.

(GROAN) It does appear now that my next radio purchase will be a P25 scanner for the car instead of a DMR mobile radio.

I have a BCD996XT, had it for awhile. Just trying to figure out the programming. My Greenville channels on my Pro 43 have been quiet, but it looks like multiple Greenville units are all on 860.8375 & 859.9875.
