I heard an E the other day as well.

8001 posted a while back that they indicate the seriousness of the call.. An Alpha is the lowest priority and Echo is the highest.

Thanks! I figured it was something to do with seriousness but didn't know which way the scale went.
Echo Level ("E") is the most serious - literally dying right now (unconscious, not breathing, no heartbeat).
Alpha Level ("A") is the least serious (Twisted ankle with no other symptoms such as bleeding).
There is also an Omega Level, though it's unlikely these will result in fire dispatch. Calls in this category may or may not result in EMS response, rather consultation with a medical professional. For example, "my child swallowed a penny seems to be okay, but I'm a little worried".

You'd think it would go the other way with Alpha being the most serious.
It's consistent with the "ramping up" of things. For example Haz Mat Level 1, 2 and 3 (real bad one).
Does anyone know the frequency that the medical helicopters talk to the hospital on when they are on their way in with a patient? Is it digital?
155.400 PL 203.5 is what I hear them on the most.
There's also 155.340 PL 203.5.

10-4 sir..... Thank you
Anyone listen to new albany indiana? Did they switch radio systems from the safe-t network??
I don't listen to the police side, but the New Albany Fire Department is using the New Albany public safety system which came on line a few months ago.
New Albany Public Safety Trunking System, New Albany, Indiana - Scanner Frequencies
If I remember correctly, you have one of the x36 scanners. I created this as part of a Favorites List in Sentinel. Indiana>Floyed County>New Albany Public Safety.
Also during the railroad bridge fire incident there were communications between Louisville Fire and southern Indiana Fire on the 800 interoperability channels. I can't remember which one however, though it was on a repeater.

Why is it that every time we have a major incident going on like the storms tonight both the online scanners for Jefferson County fire go off-line? Both the PRP and the Okolona ones are now off-line. Earlier today at least the Okolona one was because I was listening to it.
I'm listening to Okolona's right now - seven minutes after your post.
It's very possible a power failure occurred at the fire station where the feed is connected. When the feed computer re-boots, then the feed itself has to be manually re-established. There is a 2:1 chance that the firefighter tasked with keeping the feed going is off duty, or is perhaps busy with responding to the many calls for service that occur during bad weather. So while the firefighter is fixing storm problems, he is unable to fix the feed problem.

Does anyone listen to clarksville in? I'm picking them up on my hp1 on a county frequency and it sounds like county is dispatching. Anyone know if clarksville quit doing their own dispatch?
Does anyone know what TG West Buechel PD is on?
This is a guess - probably the JCSO TG used by the other small cities (Prospect, Indian Hills, etc.) that are dispatched through the sheriff's office.
Yeah, they're on Sheriff 4. I heard them today. They're the 1700 units.
Hi mike this mnis Russell Clark county Law enforcement went to centralized dispatch , All LAw enf. is dispatched on Clark County Sheriff freq. Then they have service channels which is the old Jeffersonville Police Disp channel.
