ANB Simulcasting

[rc1990]

Good evening all,

Some time ago (in 2008, i think), I read that ANB traffic from one region's freq is being simulcast on another region's freq. For exemple, crews in Moncton could hear calls from Miramichi. This was problematic and was supposed to change. My question is : is traffic still being simulcast between regions in the province? If so, what regions is simulcast with what regions? I have taken a look at this image http://www.marscan.com/nbambulanceradiomap.jpg however it's VERRY hard to make out the writting.

I'm moving from Ontario to Moncton and this setup confuses me a lot. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Merci beaucoup!

Past thur NB(Highway 16) on way home from PEI on Saturday. ANB in the Moncton area, are still linked.
Some have PL Tone others don't.
Belive the Moncton repeater 148.765 may have a PL 151.4 flashed* a couple of times.
* I have the Tone Search active in the xt

Yes everything is still simulcast. I dont know the geography exactly but there are 4 regions (East, West, North, South) and all repeaters in each region are simulcast with each other. I was in Moncton the other day and heard Mirimichi calls for ANB no problem. This will not change until a new radio system is implemented

Does ANB dispatches their call in plain english or they use some sort of dispatch protocol like ProQA or AMPDS (like 6 delta 2 = problem breathing - not alert)?

They use ProQA, same as NS

It's not often I listen to ambulance, because it's so full of region wide chatter that I don't really care about, but I thought it was plain english over the air?
