A couple of air-med questions

[Steveradio]

I have a question related to air medical if any one can help.

Jeffstat is supposed to be flying into Reading Hospital now, was curious if they stay on the Sunshine Radio Network when out of the area or do they use different communications when flying North?

I can p/up a lot of those frequencies even on HT in the Lehigh Valley but curious as to what the home channel is on the LTR system for them?

Once in awhile we can p/up the birds flying into Lehigh Valley on 155.2200 yet the old MEDEVAC frequency but not the BASE anymore. 464.2000 is for Lehigh Valley MEDEVAC and linked with a few repeaters in the Valley and up north.

Thanks
Steve

its kinda funny, but on some of those freqs. for hershey medical center and lehigh valley, since i live in the phila. metro area..(montco)...i hear school busses being assigned routes on one of those frequencies which should be an air med channel, its strange, i guess its a distance thing.

155.220 is also used by MidAtlantic MedEvac in Philly as a primary Ops freq.

155.220 I believe is also used by Pottstown school district. I've searched for a license on the FCC website but can't find one, if that tells you anything..:roll:

There's a school district in Lancaster County (can't remember which one) that shares the same freq as SkyCare (though the SD in question uses simplex; it could possibly be Manheim Twp, but don't quote me on it).
