MAST Ambulance

[jerk]

I did not see this in database or in message search.
The FCC database says MAST uses MED channels plus 460.5500

Is this correct? The web site says they are transitioning to 800Mhz.
Planning trip there and wondering what the program in my BCD396.

Kansas City MO, unless they cover more areas?

Ah, well that would explain why I had never heard of it.

I'm on the other side of Mo in St. Louis heh.

How busy is the ST Louis system, as I will be driving through there soon. Hope traffic is light.

Mast opperates on the following.

Dispatch:462.950
Secondary Med. 8 463.175
Med 10 is Johnson County Medical Dispatch for assigning some ambulance med channels to contact the hospital depending on what hospital they go to. Mast covers 365 square miles and transports to Missouri and Kansas Hospitals.


Yes, Mast is transitioning to 800mhz however there only a few units that have the 800 mhz
The rest of the units are still using the old Med channels and they are sometimes similcast over the Raytown TRS.

Great thanks, it should be done by the time I make another trip to that area. If not I have something I can use.
