LifeLine DISPATCH

[usswood]

Has their been a change recently, no longer hearing LL Dispatches, ground or air via the ERS system? Hearing them fine on Safe-T Air Med announcing their departure critera, but not getting anything on ERS, are other areas still dispatching via ERS?

 

[INDaviation]

Are they still on VHF? I haven't listened in a hot minute.

I still catch them on VHF in Indy on 155.160

Might have gone to the T3 ERS like everyone else is slowly doing. The con plus is supposed to be decommissioned in a couple of years from what I'm told.

I think I might have deleted the VHF a few years ago, or locked it out since they were ERS only in this area... Time to check the scanner programming.... @INDY72 I have been scanning for the Cap+ upgrade, but still hearing the Con+ system loud and clear in Terre Haute.

 

[INDY72]

It's not Cap +, it's full Cap Max T3, ERS only has a couple of Cap + sites. The entire Con + is converting over to Cap Max, and several users have already moved onto it. I need to ask if ERS is providing radios free to customers to upgrade, since a lot of the older XPR series doesn't support Cap Max.

 

[INDY72]

No idea about what's with them. No peep on ERS Con+, not even E blips! Nothing on the Cap Max. They might have gone to data only using MDT/Tablets. Helos on VHF and SAFE-T still. If I get a chance I will see if I can catch one of the ground units on a break. They are usually pretty cool about their radios. (They used to complain all the time about coverage in Bloomington area sucking.)
