Montgomery County Hospital Notifications

[scanner445]

When an EMS squad has the dispatcher notify a hospital of an incoming patient what frequency is the county using to do so? Is it a MED channel?

Thank you.

Unfortunately its not broadcasted over any frequencies. They use Verizon RTNA lines with Motorola or CPI handsets in the ER. The dispatcher simply talks and is heard through the handset.
EMS crews can also call in via cell phone to a recorded phone line.

Second Alarmers still calls Abington ER on their private UHF repeater, right? I think they're the only ones who still use routine radio comms for ER notification in Montco.

Ben, I believe your correct. If memory serves me right they have their own UHF system just to talk to AMH.
