American Medical Response - San Joaquin County

[medic2442]

The frequency I have for AMR San Joaquin County is the same one that is in the DB with the same NAC. That does not seem to work now cause I hear nothing and it’s been on the channel on my scanner for over 48 hours. Would anyone know if they switched frequencies and NAC or did they completely go to a different system that I cannot monitor? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While I can't speak specifically for San Joaquin County, AMR in many places has switched to a cellular based system. In my area (Cincinnati, Ohio) they have a talk group on a commercial trunking system that they do a radio check on each day at 19:00 hours. That's about all I hear on it unless the cellular system goes down and they switch to the trunking system as a backup.

AMR just opened a new facility in Lodi. Not sure if related, but the timing is quite interesting.

I was finally able to hear some transmission but only while outside, not in the house with the stock antenna on my BCD396XT. Like it’s very far away trying to pull in a weak signal. Very odd cause I was able to hear them very clearly not too long ago.
