Operations - Flight Following: 463.0000 DPL 156 Med 01

mon,

Is the helicopter answering CenCom on 468.000 (as Air 1 and Air 2 do in the STaTFlight system) or is there a repeater set up using the MED1 frequency pair for input and output?

Scandal...

Here is how I have it

468.000 DPL 156 Tx
463.000 DPL 156 Rx

Do you mean 463.0000 MHz for RX?

 

[SCPD]

It is licensed under CENCOM -- WNVY825 @ 100Watts...I would guess it's the output to 463.000.

463.000 is listed as a Base and Mobile/Vehicle Repeater, under the same call.

FYI, there's a ton of other hospitals that are licensed for that pair as well.

 

[SCANdal]

So, in other words...

Three conflicting posts here.

This is a yes or no question: In order for our fellow readers to effectively monitor Atlantic Air One, once they have been dispatched for a call (on 462.975, 173.8), one would need to program into their scanners:

463.000 (D156) to hear CenCom, and

468.000 (D156) to hear Air One

Right?

i heard them paged this morning for a standby in sussex county on the 462.975 frequency.i heard the helicopter answer up on the 463.000 frequency if this help's.the pl tone's were the same as stated.

 

[Joseph11]

Was 463.0000 MHz repeated?

 

[scannersnstuff]

yes to the best of my knowledge it is repeated.i know it would have to be for me to hear them while they were on the ground.i have a chance of hearing them if they were simplex while in the air.i think it's like the same setup as statflight uses,with the 463.000 frequency being repeated.i have 468.000 in for statflight and have never heard the helicopter on that frequency but hear them on 463.000.

Pulling the little hair I have left out of my head ! ... !

286,

First, let me clear this up. The STaTFlight system uses MED-CH 1 traditionally, meaning that the bases (in STaTFlight's case LifeCom and 60-Control) transmit on 463.000 simplex and the field units (the 87_, 90_, and "Rocky" ground units, Air 1, and Air 2) transmit on 468.000 simplex; in other words, the helicopters/ground units are NOT on 463.000. The STaTFlight system is NOT using a repeater.

Now, based on your posts above, you are advising that in order for fellow readers to monitor Atlantic Air One's operations after dispatch the only frequency that they would need to program into their scanners is 463.000 (D156) to hear both AA1 and CenCom, because Atlantic IS using a repeater, right?

Let's clear this up more and put it on a first grade level.
This nonsense has gone to far.

Air One Paged on 462.975 173.8

Air Operations on 463.000 Dpl 156 ( Repeater )

Dispatched on Cencom

Also let's not pretend that the Air One operations information was available before I posted
it because it''s wasn't. This was told to me from a friend that has a friend that works
at Cencom. Also I verififed the everything before I posted it so there should be no questions
from the original post.

hey mondaro switch to de-caf !.i'm not trying to start with anybody here.i simply stated what i heard.also i did not steal anybody's information.i never claimed to have come up with the information on my own.some people on this board need to take a few chill pill's.

I don't know what your talking about switch to de-caf !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ???????????????
Just we have had to much posted nonsense for something that is cut and dry.
Never mentioned anything about you or your post.

The information I provided was indeed not posted by anyone and I decided to give it
to the group because there has been plenty of times where this BB has helped
me out on the job here.

Finally putting the period at the end of this sentence...

mondaro,

There WERE questions from the original post. In it you reference, and I quote, "Med 01" which is traditionally used in duplex mode (meaning bases transmit on one frequency, the field units on another). Apparently Atlantic is using the MED-CH 1 frequency pair in an non-traditional fashion (semi-duplex, aka a repeater) - which is legal and okay. You didn't clear it up in post #4, so it took three post from me and two more from Joseph11 to finally get a straight answer about what's going on. Now, it's "cut and dry;" THANK YOU.

Scandel....

Both ALS and BLS for years have been using Med Channels in the non traditional fashion for years. There is information that the scanner buffs know about and some information the scanner buffs do know about like MONOC as one example. Thanks for posting a small primer on how a Med Channel works for those of us who may have forgotten how they worked.
