JEMS 2 - PL Tones

[mikea7531]

I am trying to identify 2 PL tones used with JEMS 2 on one of my squad's rig radios. We're located in Somerset County and these are the following channels in question

155.34 PL 136.5
155.34 PL 225.7

I'm trying to find out which hospitals they may belong to. Those channels are not labled, and are not hospitals that we don't normally go to, but would like to know what they belong to just in case we need to use them.
Right now i've indentified the following:

PL 103.5 - Somerset Medical Center
PL 114.8 - Robert Wood Johnson - New Brunswick
PL 103.5 - Med-Central
PL 151.4 - St. Peters
PL 71.9 - Morristown Memorial
PL 233.6 - St. Barnabas Medical Center

Any help is appreciated, thanks

are you sure it's different pl's? Down by us on Monmouth County, we use DTMF codes to get the hospitals. Im not even sure if there is a pl enabled on it but if there is, it's 151.4

I have the Motorola RSS printout in front of me, and yes, they all have different transmit PL tones, CSQ on recieve. Up here in Somerset County, some squads use PL tones, and some squads use DTMF. All the hospitals up here are set up to do both (the hospital radio will open up on either the correct DTMF number or the correct PL tone. Hunterdon County entirely uses the PL method, and Middlesex County is another mixed county.

wow, what an easy thing to do, do they usualy answer? they answer once in a blue moon here!

 

[mikea7531]

90% of the time, they answer on the first call in, 8% we'll have to try twice to get their attention, about 2% of the time we don't get them (which is rare).

 

[JMR3865]

about 75% of the time we dont even bother because they don't answer, about 10% we have our pd hq call, about 10% we try twice and they answer and the other 5% they answer.

Hell, when I was on Finderne RS in Bridgewater, I would play 'Mary had a little lamb' on the DTMF pad when no one at 5-0 would answer!

I got there attention then!

When I used to ride in Ocean County the hospitals never answered. Then when we walked in we got flack from the triage nurse for not calling ahead! :lol:
