New SAC ER opens at midnight

[jimmnn]

And the patients (about 150) will begin there move from the old to the new holy tonys about 0700hrs Friday using 20 ambulances.

Should be some good monitoring.

How Fun

Aways wondered what it would be like to live near a hospital with an active helo pad. Guess I'm about to find out.

Wondering what will happened with the now 'old' SAC.

There is some traffic about this on GREEN 2. A West Metro ambulance was asking about which hospital to go to.

Also, the new St. Anthony's recently got a license for a repeater on 451.9625, but from what little traffic I've heard so far, it sounds like MotoTRBO.

Glenns recent FCC updates had I think three or four freqs for the new location maybe check those out see what you hear and send them to the DB

WQNU691 is the only LMR license I can find for them, and it's for the 451.9625 repeater. They also have some low power 72 MHz licenses for a GPS clock system. But it seems they might have more than one MotoTRBO repeater. The Denver Radio Club just installed a ham repeater on the hospital on 447.825, and their website has some pictures of the installation on it:

Page 6 shows the repeater in the rack next to a rack containing what looks like two MotoTRBO repeaters and two Astro Spectra or XTL Consolettes. If you zoom in to the pic, I think the top consolette shows "SAC" as the channel name, which I'm guessing is DTRS TG 81. I can't make out what the bottom consolette shows, though.

West Metro just finished loading up the last patient from SAC - ambulances should be getting freed up soon.

I wonder if the patients have to pay for the transports. Those ambulance bills are a killer! I know first hand.

Somebody didn't get the memo?

I've been playing with Ian Wraith's DMR decode utility on St. Anthony's 451.9625, and it's decoding some information.

I don't know too much about DMR/MotoTRBO, but from the program, they appear to be using Color Code 12, and I'm seeing a fair amount of group voice calls on timeslot 1 (channel 1, as the program calls it), group 100000. Unit ID's (source address) are like 15000, 12000, 10000, & 9000. I'm not seeing any indications of encryption or the "privacy" feature in use, but maybe I don't know what to look for...

The program is showing quite a few errors as well, and I think I need to attenuate the signal from the receiver's discriminator tap, so maybe that will help.

Anyone know if the above information is enough to program a MotoTRBO radio to try and listen?
