Seriously, its all in the database..
Ministry of Health Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
No sat phones, but I am sure they have the option.. Oh and almost every Public Safety Agency I know of uses CAD dispatch software now.. Sure beats a whiteboard and/or the old map and pin technology.

Actually, no to CAD and yes to sat phones. They also use the conventional frequencies, but every air ambulance in Ontario has a sat phone they can use for patches, etc.
I worked air ambulance as late as '08 and when we got a call it was usually the local CACC calling us in 129.275 telling us to landline OCC on the sat phone for details.

So air ambulance dispatch does not use any type of CAD for their calls?

They use the same CAD as the rest of the Province. Basically the OCC triages calls just the same as any other CACC. This ensures that the right help goes to the right people at the right time. No sense sending a chopper to a patient who isn't in immediate danger while someone who is has to wait in line.
