LED Colors

[jimform2k1]

What LED colors are people using for certain services? ie. fire = red, police = blue, etc.

Thanks

When I was using that, mine was red = fire, dark blue = state police, light blue = city PD, white = sheriff, amber = ambulance, green = skywarn, and...pink for EMA. I have personal reasons I won't post here for that last one.

Haven't used the LED alerts for awhile, I found them distracting, especially while driving. I'm sure others are more imaginative about it than I was.

It depends on what scanner you are using. If you are using a WS-1080 and above you can get creative. This is what I use.

LED Color Scheme

Police Solid Dark Blue

Mutual Aid - IO Blue Flash

OSHP White - Blue Flash

Fire-EMS Solid Red

Hospital-Ambul Red Flash

EMA-ODH Yellow Flash

Jail Solid Orange

Schools-Pub Wks Solid Yellow

First Energy Solid Yellow

ODOT White, Yellow Green Flash

ODNR Solid Green

Red/orange for fire/EMS, RED/BLUE for law enforcement

I use the red /blue strobe for police, it is a preset in ezscan,

Here's my list ...

Law enforcement = blue
Fire = red
EMS = yellow
Public works/road crews = green
Emergency management = orange
Utility companies = magenta
Private businesses = white
VHF marine radio channels = flashing green
Wildcards of any sort = flashing white

Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done ...

Haven't used the LED alerts for awhile, I found them distracting, especially while driving.

I usually know who I am hearing (from their sound) and the LED w/o looking at the display. So this issue is opposite for me.

Flashing RED - Emergency channel (there are not many)
RED - Fire dispatch
BLUE - LE dispatch
Flashing BLUE - LE non-dispatch
CYAN - CHP Base
Flashing CYAN - CHP mobile/etc
MAGENTA - Fire command & TAC
Flashing MAGENTA - Search & Rescue
PINK - Medical
Flashing PINK - National medical channel
GREEN - Parks (state or local)
Flashing GREEN - Forests & Parks (national)
WHITE - Statewide channel (such as mutual aid)
Flashing WHITE - Nationwide channel (DEA, FBI, etc)
GRAY - "Trivial" channel (media, local business, etc)
