Main Line Health

Noticed a few new stations come online within the past month under licenses WQWG649 & WQSU720. All simulcast TGID-10001 which appears to be a new shared public safety talkgroup for hospitals / facilities in the Main Line Health system. So far I observed Paoli Hospital (400 series units), Riddle Hospital (300 series units), Bryn Mawr Rehab (500 series units?) and Mirmont Treatment center (600 series units?) have made the switch . Bryn Mawr and Lankenau Hospital Public Safety still appear to be on their RRDB listed frequencies and haven't made the migration to new frequencies / TGID yet although they have new frequencies online simulcasting traffic from the other facilities. Maintenance at all hospitals hasn't switched over (not sure if planned or not)

Simulcasting Frequencies:
451.1875, CC9: Paoli Hospital
461.7375 (WQSU720), CC5: Lankenau Hospital
463.9875, CC12: Bryn Mawr Hospital (although fixed point is listed as Bryn Mawr Rehab on license, might be error on FCC's part as the two are located in different counties about a half hour drive from one another) I confirmed strong signal a few miles from Bryn Mawr Hospital

***Looking for confirmation on Riddle Hospital (WQWG649 Location 2? & Mirmont Location 5?) if new frequencies are online***

Also logged 451.175 TG-911 Slot-1 CC4 from Paoli which sees occasional use so I'm guessing this is public safety secondary

Hi Whisky.,
I have 463.63750 cc4 TG 911 slot 1 which is Riddle.
452.01250 cc4 TG 911 slot 1 Lanc
Also Riddle May be 464.9375 cc12 ?

Whiskey3JMC · Oct 10, 2023

Also 461.6625 CC4, TG-911 from Bryn Mawr

Whiskey3JMC · Oct 21, 2023

Now it looks like the aforementioned conventional DMR frequencies may have been temporary as I've observed some new CAP+ sites come online yesterday:

Paoli, Site 3, CC9 NL 1 (Bryn Mawr?)
463.2625: 1/2
464.150: 3/4

Radnor, Site 5?, CC10 at the Main Line Corporate Office on Radnor Chester Road
462.050: 1/2
461.650: 3/4

Hearing 300 (Riddle) and 400 (Paoli) series security units on TG-118

philacop · Oct 21, 2023

Do not hear the 400 units anymore on 463.9875/461.7375 or451.18750 …..
The channel beacons are still up on 463.9875 and 463.9875.
Still hearing 200 units on 461.6625/452.012.
Channel beacons on 461.6625 and 452.0125

What CC on that beacon? I have Site 1, CC1 Ch1/2 as possibly a new Plymouth Community Ambulance CAP+ WREQ345 along with 463.950 CC1 Ch 3/4 (now beaconing as of this posting). Caught ENC TG-1 on the latter yesterday

How or what do you use to determine Ch 1/2 & Ch 3/4?

philacop · Oct 21, 2023

I use DSD plus fastlane

Same as Tom or if I don't have a computer on hand, LCN finder on my 436HP does the trick as well. With CAP+ systems LCN = even number in channel pair divided by 2

rgchristy · Oct 22, 2023

Thanks Guys!

I have a lot to learn about CAP+ systems.

I wading through about 1000+ recordings right now. Hopefully, I'll have some info later.

philacop · Oct 24, 2023

Bryn Mawr maintenance and security units were on 461.9875 groups 11 and 12 had an alarm problem in garage.

rgchristy · Oct 27, 2023

As of yesterday, License WPYV480, Paoli Hospital, which was set to expire on 11/6/23, has been renewed to 11/6/2033.

Also, License WQSU720, Lankenau Hospital, which was set to expire on 11/19/23, has been renewed to 11/19/2033.

ULS License - Industrial/Business Pool, Trunked License - WQSU720 - LANKENAU HOSPITAL

License WPTU245, Riddle Memorial Hospital, the old Riddle security and maintenance channels remain expired as of 2/19/2022

I was waiting to see if the Paoli and Lankenau licenses would be renewed, since they are active.

464.1500	2	9

Site 7: Lankenau Hospital

Then who is 200, Bryn Mawr?

philacop · Nov 6, 2023

Yes
300 is Riddle
400 is Paoli

Whiskey3JMC · Nov 6, 2023

Alrighty then so we can now say:
TG-110: Bryn Mawr Security
TG-112: Bryn Mawr Maintenance
TG-115: Lankenau Security
TG-118: Paoli Security
TG-120: Paoli Maintenance

Any TGIDs for Riddle? Think I heard them briefly on Paoli's TG today

Whiskey3JMC · Nov 13, 2023

I sat on the Riddle site (Site 4) for over an hour while within range, only logged TGIDs 118 & 123, the latter appearing to be Riddle Maintenance (not heard on any other site). Caught a brief hit from TGID-119, no voice, no UID. Back on Site 7 TGID 116 appears to be an all-call talkgroup for Lankenau. Site 7 over at Lankenau looks to carry the most talkgroups out of the other sites in the system. Mirmont and Bryn Mawr Rehab sites still not online as of this past Friday
