Lifenet Helicopters

[Warthog1]

Some time ago there was a discussion about the Lifenet helicopters. I just found this link, good site !

Life Net of New York

I haven't heard Air Comm dispatch a Lifenet helicopter for a while on 155.235.....did they switch again, or is it my antenns ? Can anyone confirm the dispatch still being on 155.235 ?

My 996XT is tripping on tones on .235, but the audio is so low I can't tell what is happening.

Their audio was rediculously low after they switched to 235

do thay still use that frq?

I will throw this out there again, because there are quite a few people within monitoring range. Can ANYONE confirm that Air Comm is dispatching Lifenet helicopters on 155.235 ? I followed the switch-over from 155.265, and heard a couple of dispatches, but now I have heard agencies mention that the helicopter was dispatched...but no joy on 155.235......anybody ???

I use 155.265 for lifenet and pick them up on a daily basis.

I can confirm they are no longer being dispatched on 155.265 in Albany, as it is our backup Medcom channel and we monitor it 24/7. Speaking with EMS personnel, they state they are being paged on the same channel as Mohawk Ambulance because they hear a lot of Mohawk traffic on their pagers.

That's nice, but you are in Rome and the discussion is about Albany.

I just heard them on 155.235 / DCS432 giving a report to the charge nurse. Also heard the Med and the dispatcher, so it's simplex.

just cause I live in Rome doesn't mean I don't travel or work in a different area. When I am in Rome I pick up Rural Metro Syracuse on 155.265. But since I work in schoharie county which is only 20 miles south of the Life net Glen station I am pretty sure I can pick them up. But thanks for the advice. And yes I still pick them up on 155.265 like stated before.

LifeNet-71 and Lifeguard-12 are definitely being paged on 155.235. This is the same frequency as Mohawk Schenectady, which I understand has been annoying for both Air Methods and Mohawk.

I don't know if you would ever hear them in your area but for reference the two new helicopters will be-
LifeNet 7-9 (Potsdam, NY), LifeNet 7-10 (Watertown, NY)

Thanks for the info on Lifenet 7-9 and 7-10
You never know when they will be at Albany Med.
