JeffStat 5

[philacop]

Anyone know what frequency or system JeffStat 5 is using for Flight Opts ?

 

[Whiskey3JMC]

I've only heard them here. They have an ops frequency?

Frequency	Input	License	Type	Tone	Alpha Tag	Description	Mode	Tag
151.5275	159.6375	WPWF747	RM	732 DPL	JeffSTAT Air	Dispatch	FMN	EMS Dispatch

 

[philacop]

That is Jeffstat’s Flight Following frequency..
I have that for Jeffstat 1-2-3
I know Jeffstat 4 has a Talkgroup on NJICS.
But don’t have the frequency for Jeffstat 5
Thanks

 

[Whiskey3JMC]

K, for what it's worth Jeffstat 5 can be heard at 2:17 into this clip of 151.5275...

 

[philacop]

That’s probably the frequency for 5.
Thanks

JeffSTAT 5 is based out of AI Dupont Hospital in Wilmington, DE. Aside from their Philly ops channel, you may be able to catch them on LifeNet 6-1's channel from Christiana Hospital.

I recorded the AID frequency for a week or so and only heard morning tone tests. It is not high power either.

Unless something has changed, I wouldn't expect a lot of activity from JeffSTAT 5. In Delaware, LifeNet and the other private services are transport-only. DSP Aviation handles all emergency Fire/EMS calls.

LifeNet 6-1 and 6-4 are backups when DSP is unavailable or more than one aircraft is needed, but I don't know that JeffSTAT 5 is on that list anywhere.

 

[rgchristy]

My apologies. You are correct.

I shouldn't have used the word "only". For example, in 2023, there were twenty-three scene transports for LifeNet in Delaware. This is not including LifeNet 8-1.

I'm trying to learn more about JeffSTAT 5. According to Alec Buck's website, it was originally JeffSTAT 3, stationed at Riddle and transferred to AID in December 2024.

You should find them on 461.45 (simplex) when they're at/near the base.

 

[philacop]

Jeffstat 3 is still operating from Riddle

 

[philacop]

There also 2 low power frequencies listed for Air Methods in Wash Twp area in New Jersey.
153.605 and 463.6625

We do?

Jeffstat 3 is still operating from Riddle

Sorry, I was under the impression that the physical aircraft that was at Riddle was transferred to AID and is called JeffSTAT 5. And, another aircraft with a different tail number was sent to Riddle by Air Methods and is now called JeffSTAT 3. At least, that's the way I understand it.

I'll check next time we're at Riddle.

 

[philacop]

Got ya Rich !
I thought you meant 3 wasn’t based at riddle..
🫢

 

[rgchristy]

We were just there twice this week and it was sitting there. I didn't think to get the tail number.

Next trip, which should be soon...

N527ME is based at Riddle

 

[MedicCop]

JeffSTAT5's primary aircraft is N145TJ, the same aircraft that was formerly JeffSTAT1 and JeffSTAT3. JeffSTAT3 is still at Riddle Hospital, but is now using N527ME as their primary aircraft. The aircraft was moved to AID when JeffSTAT became the air medical vendor for AID's Transport Team. While based at AID, the aircraft is not dedicated solely to AID's Transport Team and will respond to other requests.

 

[CommJunkie]

527ME used to be STAT MedEvac, no?
