I have yet to find any type of Ambulance-Hospital comms. I do recall around 2010 they were using 39.82 for a while, then the traffic just vanished. I have done a band scan on the UHF Med channels, e.g
Med 1-10 even the legacy low band frequencies, nothing. Am I missing something here?

Hi I have not been though there for a while so not sure how accurate,
according to the fcc.gov site you might try these licences,
Wpzv828 462.500
Wqau339 461.5875
Wqej900 462.1875, 462.5125
Wqfl781 451.325, 462.525
Wqmp951 155.340
Wrfa422 451.2375, 451.4375, 451.5375,
Also not sure the modes analog or digital, hope some are good, please let us know.

Cell phone for call in

Gotcha, I have always like hearing the Ambulance-Hospital comms, but guessing HIPPA probably has a lot to do with it.

I would eliminate 2 sets of frequencies. WQEJ422 is licensed for 4 watts. WRFA422 is licensed for 2 watts. They are probably handhelds used within the hospital.

Hi I noticed that but I don't trust that, I don't point fingers and tell, one licence i know of said low power (10 watts) and after over 8 years they are sending 100 watts out the stick😁 may be a typo?

I don't totally believe that database either. I believe that the licensees in many cases make changes without seeking permission from the FCC. I see many DMR systems on frequencies only licensed for NFM.

All patient reports are done via cellphone. The hospital does have a UHF repeater for hospital security and maintenance. They do have an APX6500 or APX8500 with an E5 control head in the ER to monitor Norfolk Fire (I'm surprised they didn't add a talk group for patient reports when they went P25). They also have an APX or XTL radio with O5 control head for the state system in their "IC area". I Don't think they have any low band equipment anymore.

Haven't used "82" for over 8 years!

Use the cell phone on the Wayne rig. In fact use the cell for every thing for call in
(even the transfer hospitals).
