Finding DMR Radio Frequencies

[AM909]

@paulears : There are always a number of healthcare entities that were, are, or should be in bankruptcy. Only the things highest on the priority list (salaries, surgical supplies, etc.) get attention in these cases. Communications often doesn't make the cut. There's also a lot of turnover during the lifetime of a 10-year license, and people don't think enough about keeping their contact info current, so when that renewal notice comes up, it often bounces or (at best) lands in someone's "to be dealt with sometime" pile. As long as the lights stay on and the oxygen keeps flowing, all is well.

Wow. That would nevr happen here with our national health service. We have a national system that much as we moan about it, would never work like this. We probably spend too much money on everything non medical, but everything is tracked. Renewing licences, awarding contracts and everything surrounding medical is tracked and fully monitored. My wife works in this system and systems exist for everything.

Predicated on "not having to pay"; See if you hospital has a local ARES or ham radio support group and reach out to them. They likely would have a scanner with "close call" capabilities or (maybe) spectrum analyzer or other test equipment.

Wait, what? No mention of reading their radios with chirp?

When you find out, don't forget to make a database submission so we can listen to your hospital 😂
