NC Baptist Air Care

[JJones27320]

Does anyone know any active frequencies that are used for NC Baptist Air care in Winston Salem?

 

[johnnyreb1121]

Try 460.775, I have it in my list but do not live in that area, hopefully that is the correct freq.

They are currently using 453.025/458.025 with a 88.5 hz tone.

What does that mean? What is the tone and how do I put that in my pro 96? I do have Win96 if that helps.

When making flight calls to Rowan County, Baptist must use 155.34 with no PL to contact the landing zone commanding officer. When Carolinas Medical Center "CMC" is called, they can use "Salisbury Roamer Dispatch", TG 5424 on the county's 800 system to communicate with the landing zone.

Can anyone else confirm if Baptist has to use "340" in your county; and, can CMC utilize your county's 800 system?

Okay so how do I program that? What freq to be put in? Thanks

If you put in 453.025 and 460.775 with the proper PLs, you'll hear the repeater outputs if you're within range of the Sauratown Mtn repeater sites. Can't tell you how to do that, but I'm sure somebody can help.

Air Care, like all medical helos, uses whatever frequency they're assigned by the requesting agency at the time of the request. Sometimes it's one of several pre-arranged freqs in the radio's memory. The combo of an 800 mHz digital/analog capable radio, MOAs with all radio systems in their response areas, and the Wulfsburg DC to Daylight radios and antenna tuners (www.wulfsburg.com), they are capable of talking on just about any frequency or format you can mention. The patient and comm info is given to the helos by the helo dispatch centers just after liftoff from base, and the crews dial in the freqs and formats for contacting the scene officers when nearing the scenes.

I've heard dispatchers here in Iredell tell people at the LZ to "contact the helo on fire ground 2 and kill the pl".

It's always good to have State Fire 154.280 and State Rescue 155.280 programmed into your scanner. I keep CMC Med Center Air 155.325 in the 1st spot, then both of the 280 frqes after that. I keep them with CSQ and locked out. I can enable them as needed.

On any commerical or ham rig I use, I keep them as the last three channels for the same reason.

 

[glascoeracing]

Are them MOTO or FM? 460.775, 453.025, 155.325, 155.280, 154.280?

 

[Grog]

FM. 154.280 & 155.280 are (should be) simplex, so depending on how far away you are will dictate how well you'll hear them.

Helos will also operate on simplex lots of time, just because they are above the units they are talking to, so it's a straight shot.

Slightly OT, but you can also hear the SHP helo on the standard SHP lo band freqs. I hear them every so often going towards Asheville, and they will let Troop F comm center know they are in their area.

 

[glascoeracing]

Okay. Does anyone know what WFUBMC security freq is?

 

[Grog]

As that is really off topic for this post, you might want to start a new topic for that.

Besides, what is WFUBMC?

 

[CFP387]

...I keep CMC Med Center Air 155.325 in the 1st spot

Is there a PL assigned to that frequency?

Slightly OT, but you can also hear the SHP helo on the standard SHP lo band freqs.

When an SHP Helo calls Salisbury, they use the prefix "Z" in front of their car number. For example, "Zebra 142 to Salisbury" is used pretty often because the airport is about two airmiles from the comm center. I live close enough to both the comm center and the airport that I can hear SHP helo traffic easily.

Disregard. Info already listed.

 

[glascoeracing]

How is it off topic? If they have to talk to AIRCARE then they must have a freq they use also. Right?

The main topic was about medical helos, and Security is pretty removed from a helo. Plus I had no idea what was asked, but now I do

The PL for CMC 155.325 is 91.5, it's in the RRDB. They are also on the Char/Meck TRS quite a bit.

Well here at Baptist (WFUBMC) whenever the helo comes in the security people are always the ones to help the nurses and EMT get the patients into the hospital. Security plays a big part here. That is why I asked. Thanks
