So for a while now I have been digging into East Texas EMS communications. ETMC EMS was absorbed into UT Tyler Health and apparently no longer provides EMS services in East Texas. It seems Champion EMS has taken what was once ETMC EMS. For the most part they are operating on leased Conventional Analog UHF. The LTR system they used to used seems to have been abolished. I have submitted some updates to these fellers but it seems the database guys often forget to add something so I am going to paste in the information I have and ask you fellers how you suggest I submit this so we can get it right.
First I'll copy the Text file with their frequencies, tones and corresponding towers. Then I'll add their coverage map. Because this is a large comprehensive service area with a lot of radio towers I'd like to suggest the system be put in the Medevac area under the State of Texas labeled as "East Texas" This way the good folks updating the database don't have to put this info in each and every county individually.
Champion EMS Dispatch Channels
461.5125 DCS: 205 Hawkins Tower
451.8500 DCS: 732 Purley Tower (FFL-1)
451.9750 DCS: 114 Daingerfield Tower
452.0125 DCS: 464 Wills Point Tower (FFL-4)
461.4500 DCS: 412 Kilgore Tower (FFL-3)
463.3750 DCS: 464 Longview Tower
462.0625 Henderson Tower
461.1750 Mt. Selma Tower
451.9000 Lindale Tower (Possibly LTR)
461.4375 DCS: 662 Tyler #2 Tower
452.7000 Athens Tower (Possibly DMR)
Flight For Life Bases
FFL-1 Palestine
FFL-2 Winnsboro
FFL-3 Lake Cherokee
FFL-4 Wills Point
Notes: FFL-1 is based at Palestine but I cannot find a frequency for them. I suspect they are on Anderson County EMS but I can't hear that far south. FFL-3 I believe dispatches off Champion Kilgore. Champion/FFL can also be heard on the old ETMC-EMS North VHF channel 155.2350 DCS: 331 Talking to UT Tyler. I also don't think Athens is accurate as they have no service in the area and all I hear is DMR on the frequency. Mt. Selma I think is PL: 103.5 which is an older known tone for Champion. However, that is also a stretch to hear so I haven't confirmed it.
So, What would be the best way to submit this?
Thanks!
