Med patches CT

[mstarn]

Once upon a time I saw on the internet (and of course cannot find them again) I saw a list of CT freqs for Maryland EMS med patches for the following freqs:
Receive Transmit Name
463.0000 468.0000 MED 1
463.0250 468.0250 MED 2
463.0500 468.0500 MED 3
463.0750 468.0750 MED 4
463.1000 468.1000 MED 5
463.1250 468.1250 MED 6
463.1500 468.1500 MED 7
463.1750 468.1750 MED 8
462.9500 467.9500 MED 9
462.9750 467.9750 MED 10
The Ct s were broke out by Divisions. (I think 5 divisions) Does anyone where this list is was or did I just have a touch too much Tequila at the time. I'm interested in which codes would be applicable to St. Marys County, MD.

Hay 462.975 is the EMRC frequency. the ambulances call on this frequency with there jurisdiction, Unit #, and Hosp. of choice and give the Ambulance the Channle # and hospital name. for St.Marys its "Med 1, Channle 31(EMRC CH.31)." or just 468.000 and 463.000. not the old med 4 patch. 8)

I thought the EMRC used the "Med 9" which our EMS protocols refer to as Call 1...and other places in MD used "Med 10" AKA Call 2, just with a different Tone for each county close to each other... I could be very wrong on this...but for some reason remember reading or hearing in a class or something that you could reach the EMRC on either of the 4 Call 1 freq's (9,19,29,39) or (9A,9B,9C,9D).... I could have been dreaming though.

Med 9 (aka CALL-1) is typically reserved for units (statewide) to contact EMRC so that they may request med channel assignments for trauma or poisoning consults. Med 10 (aka CALL-2) is typically used by individual counties (with differing PL tones) as deemed appropriate. On many Eastern Shore Counties, CALL-2 serves as the freq on which ambulances contact the local 911 center in order to request a med channel assignment & subsequent patch into the local hospital of choice on any given incident. CALL-2 may also used for updated patient info transmission between units and the 911 center during the response.

This dates me a bit....but back in the mid 80's, when I was doing field work, we routinely used the 1970's era med channel repeater portables on calls, because they were the only means of contacting the 911 center without going back to the truck/ambo. This was obviously well before the advent of repeaters for the primary fire/rescue radios & cell phones. My, how things change.

Call 1 is used in balt city to contact emrc (or syscom) call 2 is used in the rest of the state. there are 4 pl's used. the state issued med radios are kenwoods set up in for zone's
zone 1: channel 1-10 med 1-8 call 1 call 2
zone 2: channel 11-20 med 11-18 call 1 call 2
zone 3: channel 21-30 med 21-28 call 1 call 2
zone 4: channel 31-40 med 31-38 call 1 call 2 (pl198.2)

in PG co units call on ch. 40 call 2 and get a med channel, usally "med 1 channel 31"

i belive PG communications has no means to monitor med channels, all of region 5 is now handled by emrc in balt.
