Lifesaver helicopter frequencies question

[scannerman200]

Does anybody have the dispatch and the air frequencies for Alabama lifesaver helicopter? What about the input frequencies

 

[EMS-1]

Primary Dispatch/Scramble Frequency is 155.355 they use it for coordinates as well as some of their landings at and departure from Hospitals and Scenes .They use the H.E.A.R. system Frequency 155.340 and the Small Town PD Frequency 155.010 for Ground Contact. I have also heard them talk to Birmingham Approach at 123.800 and The Tower on 119.900. They have an 800 Mhz. Frequency although I dont know it... 8) Carl

A few years ago when I lived in BHM. I heard Lifesaver Base talking
to Lifesaver-1 on 155.3550 about testing on "the-link". This is probably
Southern-Linc.

What is the input for 155.355 for lifesaver helicopter?

 

[CyberGoth1440]

As far as I know, 155.3550Mhz is simplex, or at least it was.
When Carraway Methodist Hospital started the Air-Ambulance service
back in the 80's you could hear paging tones for "Lifesaver Scramble"
as well as position reports.
They used the "HEAR" (155.3400Mhz) to give patient reports. They had to call Birmingham Fire to "dial" the ER they wanted to talk to.
I suspect they are using Southern-Linc or Birmingham's APCO-25 system
now for that purpose.
I live about 85 miles north of BHM. and often hear out-of-town ambulances asking "TCC" (whatever that is) to "encode" a specific
Hospital's ER on the HEAR.
Hope this helps.

tcc

tcc stands for trauma communications control its a part of uab that acts like a central dispatch center for all major traum incidents it keeps up with all hosp that are on divert and stuff like that that is also where the dispatch lifesaver from.

I heard them talking on statenet about 10 mins ago, going to the Brookwood mine (or near it). Sounded like Northstar, Life Saver, and Brookwood VFD all on statenet.

OK, CSL126, you got my attention. State Net? Would that be 155.01? If not please let me know. I am listing to the LifeSaver net as I type this.

Hey Rich... Hope you're doing great. Yes, the State Net is 155.010

 

[CSL126]

Yes, 155.010, I should have made that clear in my post. I've seen people refer to it as many different things lol.

Lifesaver Info: 155.355 PL 151.4 both Transmit and receive. They used Southern Linc up until a few months ago when FAA made them remove it from all aircraft due to some law about cell phones on airplanes. FCC should know however that Nextel and Southern Linc are not technically cell phones, but advanced two way radio systems with phone interconnect, but that's for a different forum. They have a tunable radio in the aircraft that can tune to any VHF/UHF frequency and pl set. They will tune to the local fire, police, etc that they are going to or have that agency switch to their frequency (155.355). Any other questions?
