Now that HUMC has purchased the MICU license previously owned by Pascack Valley Hospital, will the units previously operating out of PVH be renumbered?

No I doubt they'll- be renumbered because the MICU ulnit numbers depend on LOCATION of the hospital not who owns it. The new units ICP114 is referring to are additions to units already located at the hospital, i.e. Englewood already has ALS 201 and 202, Holy Name already has ALS301 and 302, Valley already has 401 and 402. Also MICOMM Dispatch is located in Totowa the hospitals all have recievers on 155.1750 and 155.3850. When Pascack Valley Hospital's fate was unknown I thought I wouldn't hear Miccom dispatch any more because that's the hospital closest to me .

The Valley Hospital MICU operating out of Mahwah carries a "ALS 40X" designator despite it not operating from the Hospital itself. Also, I believe HUMC operates a unit stationed in South Bergen County carrying a radio designator of "ALS 10X."

Thus, HUMC could choose to renumber the units in Westwood to "ALS 10X" since they now own the license.

Yeah but the Mahwah MICU is in the Valley Hospital Area and the unit stationed in Rutherford is in the Hakensack Area so they would be numbered the same anyway. Pascack Valley MICU's are out of Hackensack's immediate area so it could go either way. Although it's going to be weird hearing units like 104 and 105 responding in the Pascack Valley area. Just to add more confusion it was rumored they would station at MICU at one -of the local volunteer ambulance corps buildings. Don't know if this will pan out or not
