Conemaugh Med Star New Dispatch freq?

[CHAWMAN24]

I took notice on the Cambria County Frequency list that Conemaugh Med Star has a new dispatch frequency of 464.275 (dispatched by Aero med) I haven't been home much to monitor Cambria County , but that may explain why i haven't heard Med Star traffic lately. I have a few questions that perhaps someone can answer.

(1) Is Aero Med a nationwide Dispatch service for Aero Medical And where are they located. This is the first i have heard of them.

(2) Does this mean that Cambria Co 911 no longer handles dispatch duties for Med Star.


(3) Where are the tower sites for Aero Med ? I haven't been able to receive any radio traffic on 464.275.
I had no problems receiving Med Star on the old 155.340


THANKS for any input

Its actually "EraMED", the former Flight Services Division of Keystone Helicopter Corporation. Its the aviation vendor MedStar (among other airmedical programs) obtains their aircraft, pilots, and maintenance from. Their communications center is located at Chester County Airport, in Coatesville PA. Hope that helps.

That info helps shed some light on this. I did hear some radio traffic today on 464.275 however it was a very weak signal for me in southern Blair County.

Thank You for the update, I stand corrected.
