freq's designated as "alerting" in RR d-base?

[Hoot]

just a general question about the frequencies marked as "alerting"... are they all just paging freq's for minitors and stuff or will they also carry voice for dispatch, etc? one example is the berkeley hts twp EMS in union county, nj. it doesn't appear that they have any other freq's for EMS. the d-base lists a PD, FD and EMS alerting.

I am not sure, but I believe that is referring to the toneout and initail dispatch only (no units) for the pagers.

Freq's designated as alerting in RR database

Berkeley Heights EMS gets toned out on 39.10 PL 192.8 and mobiles are on the PD frequency. They have been doing this for years.

yeah, i noticed that alot of the smaller towns combine the EMS with either the PD or FD. so then alerting is most likely only alerting in other towns as well, thanks.

WOW, low band! Where are you located? I think that in Colorado, you could count the lowband freqs on one hand! I haven't been into "skip" for a long time, but now I may try again.

If you want to try some lowband skip this summer, monitor 44.70 and 45.22, maybe even 44.90 and 45.18. These are Okla. Highway Patrol's lowband freqs, the first two are the base side, the second two are the mobiles. This is not a repeater setup, just split base/car freqs.
