Atlantic Air 1

[res5cue]

If I am not mistaken Atlantic Air 1 is dispatched out by Cencom in Summit. I was wondering
what frequency they are dispatched on? I know they talk to REMCS on NJSP Troop B Northstar Talkgroup. Anyone have the info? Thanks!

They are usually paged out on CenCom MED-10 - 462.975, PL 173.8. They then will talk to CenCom on MED-1 - 463.000 base, 468.000 air DPL156.

Didn't they switch dispatch to Med-1, too?

 

[nosoup4u]

Maybe they page on both. I hear them page out on MED-10 every morning.

 

[Joseph11]

OK. I remember reading somewhere that they switched dispatch to Med-1.

Air 1 was using Med 1 with a DPL of 156. Thet are no longer on Med 1 for some reason. A have a couple of calls out and will post the results. I have heard them on Cencom Med 10 with there pager trst every morning between 7am to 7:15 am by Cencom.

whats the reason they are using a DPL? I had all my Med Channel info for Cencom set
to a PL. Anyone know where there transmitter is? Will I hear them on a portable in
Hopatcong which isnt too far from Netcong? Thanks!

I am getting word that they switched there operations to a different Med Channel, So if someone can start monitoring the med channels when they get a job, ( They are Paged Out on Cencom Med 10 ) Then try to monitor them on the med channels. Good luck if I hear anything on my end I'll post it.

I have it on good authority that Air 1 has gone to Med Channel 8. If some of all can plug in Med 8 (463.175) let's see what we come up with via a search the Med 1 tone they where using was DPL 156.

Thanks

So if I plug in these numbers with the PL - the only thing I will hear is Atlantic Air 1? Or will I be hearing other medic units on this channel as well?

Thanks,

Mike

Plug the numbers in and you will only hear Atlantic Air 1 based in Netcong NJ just off Route 80, Medic units are on different frequencies.

Thanks tony. i just spoke with someone at Cencom lol. Should be the DPL.

 

[mondaro]

Anytime, I called Cencom this afternoon and spoke to one of there supervisors, He had no problem giving me the info to me I find those guys pretty cooperative, Most EMS communications centers are outstanding they even offered me a tour.

Take Care

They are definatly on MED 8. Just plugged it into the scanner and listening to them now.

 

[res5cue]

I got the Dispatch Channel to work with no problem. Here is the new question. What is their Medical Control channel??

 

[mondaro]

I am not sure in the air but I think they use a cell phone ( Nextel ) Many medic units use the cell phone and speak directly to the docs that way.

Signal

is the signal strong, what the range you can hear air one getting toned out. i am not far from hudson, i am in nyc. i get newark and monoc good as well

is the signal very strong. how far do you guys pick it up

 

[squad1321]

I have MED-8 plugged in and so far, I have not heard anything (from Jersey City on the Hudson). I'll keep listening...

 

[res5cue]

im very close to Air-1's HQ so I can hear them on a portable with no problem. They have been refering to Medical Control alot and they say on the Medical Control Channel. I dont think its
a med channel but im not totally sure. As for it being nextel or cell I am not too sure about that cause CENCOM asked for a phone call ASAP and the pilot says it has to wait till they land. Hmm...
