Hey guys, love this message board, great posts. Im looking for some equipment hopefully in DECENT shape, not beat up and dented all to heaven and back. First thing: VHF Handhelds with battery(s), charger, and antenna, or base stations that at least work. Second: UHF Handhelds with battery(s), charger, and antenna, Third: 800mhz Handhelds with battery(s), charger, and antenna, or 800mhz base station, both that can pick up the safe-t system of indiana. Im a certified EMS responder and my little handheld is starting to go put on me, so i need a replacement. I also travel to ohio and michigan all the time, and boy there are some major accidents goin that way sometimes. it would be nice to be able to call for help. my cell phone is about worthless over in ohio, and most of michigan.
Now my dumb question: this past wensday, i was on I75 in michigan, and saw SEVERAL accidents due to the slick roads, and the statewide police freq, didnt seem to work. I made a distress call twice on that channel, and got no response. Took the first arriving police officer nearly 45 minutes to get to the scene. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt in the 3 car pile up/slide off but you know it could have been worse. Does any one know if they still use that statewide channel, or have they all switched over to the 800mhz system? If anyone can help with either of these two, please respond to: paramedic18@sbcglobal.net . THANKS!! Happy Holidays to everyone.
