Hello all,
Thanks for all your help so far.
It is definately Empire STATE Ambulance, not Empire Ambulance. They have been operating in the Westchester/Putnam County area for a while now and have recently began expansion into Dutchess County with the construction of a new facility in the Fishkill area. They were also recently awarded the Putnam County ALS contract.
I know they use Putnam County Freqs, and 155.340, 155.400 to contact the hospitals, but I am interested in the freqs that they use for communicating with their base.
Joseph11,
Thanks. Thats the info I found. I have them in my radios, but I haven't heard anything. What concerns me is that they are 2 & 4 Watt mobile/vehicular repeater freqs. Nothing for a repeater or a base station of some type.
Maybe distance is a factor for me, but I routinely see these ambulances doing interfacility transports in my area. They have to be using some other means to communicate. Possibly leasing space on one of the commercial two-way radio systems in the area or using NEXTEL.
Thanks,
