Middlesex County JEMS 1 is 155.2200 MHz with a PL tone 103.5 Hz. The MED channels are a nationwide standard. Here they are:

Med Channel 1 Ambulance to Hospital 463.000/468.000
Med Channel 2 Ambulance to Hospital 463.025/468.025
Med Channel 3 Ambulance to Hospital 463.050/468.050
Med Channel 4 Ambulance to Hospital 463.075/468.075
Med Channel 5 Ambulance to Hospital 463.100/468.100
Med Channel 6 Ambulance to Hospital 463.125/468.125
Med Channel 7 Ambulance to Hospital 463.150/468.150
Med Channel 8 Ambulance to Hospital 463.175/468.175
Med Channel 9 Hospital Access 462.950
Med Channel 10 VRS / Hospital 462.975

Hope this helps.

In Middlesex county, paramedics normally call MedCentral on a cell phone requesting to use the "phone patch," details of which I am unsure of. I guess either for backup purposes, regulations, they were never removed, or a combination of the above, UHF Mobiles are still in the trucks as well (I think).

Also, it seems as if many towns, in Middlesex county anyway, use JEMS 2 for rig-hospital sommunication.

What are the JEMS frequencies?

 

[robbinsj2]

The (UHF) Med channels are there for medical control -- the medics are supposed to evaluate the patient, report to and get instructions from a doctor, and perform the instructions. They do have standard protocol for many common conditions and they have authority to proceed with many treatments if they are unable to contact the doctor.

JEMS 2 is for alerting EDs to incoming patients. JEMS 2 and the med channels serve different purposes, though the need for a JEMS 2 report could be negated if the medic's doctor is at the destination facility or if the destination is somehow party to the medic-doctor communications.

NJDOH&SS requires medic units to have ability on the Med channels.

medic2685, as of a year ago there was no indication to me, a former volly EMT-B in Middlesex County, that there was a VHF-High link to the Med channels in the RWJ (MedRescue) units. Are you referring to JFK or RBMC units? On the recent (less than a few years ago) rare occassions that I heard MR units use the med radio, it was always from the truck on the "input" frequency (but no repeater). The doctor talked back on the "output" frequency, and the medic in the truck relayed the instructions to the treating medic on JEMS 4 or their F-6 "Citywide."

MR units used to have mobile repeaters on the Med radio, but these may have been phased out when they upgraded to trunking UHF mobiles to have access to the various local Motorola UHF TRSs.

There is a license to RWJUH which I've been trying for a long time to ID. KD48620, (15) low-power mobiles/portables on 151.8650. If you're confident they do have a link, maybe that's it. Whatever it is, it's probably EMS because the license goes to the attention of Louis Sasso. Also, they renewed it recently so it probably isn't just a legacy license.

Stoping the Search fot MR med CH

thanks everyone. it's time to call off the search fo the VHF med ch. i had to email a friend that still works there. for the last year i couldn't figure out why, we kept that brick for a radio still in the med bag. like i said i only work there part timeand full time at CHS i guess i got used to having everything in one radio.

thanks Chris

What are the JEMS frequencies?

1190,

JEMS1 - Dispatch / Operations (varies with each agency)
JEMS2 - H.E.A.R. (155.340)
JEMS3 - "Disaster Channel" (155.280)
JEMS4 - aka SPEN4 (153.785, 131.8)

I would leave SPEN 4 in CSQ mode because some towns use different PLs. The frequency doesn't have a lot of interference on it!

 

[mikea7531]

To be more specific, JEMS 4 / SPEN 4 should be programmed in this fashion:

Tx: 153.785 131.8
Rx: 153.785 CSQ

This way if you encouter an agency that is using the state designated PL on the recieve end, you'll be able to communicate with them. Most agencies should be using JEMS 4 / SPEN 4 in that configuration.
