Pike County EMS 3 channel

[smorris]

As I type this, there is currently an MVA at Warehouse Dr/Winona Falls. Multiple units from Pike and Monroe on scene. Anyway, Monroe is relaying to our units to switch to "Pike Co EMS 3". Aparently none of the Monroe units responding have this channel, including MCFD EMS. I dont see this channel in the databse. has Pike changed their channels around?

Did you monitor 151.2575?

I was out of range of Pike at the time. However, I don’t usually monitor Pike, and it was my understanding from previous threads that 2575 wasn’t regularly used and that 265 was still the primary EMS channel. If Pike is now using 2575, that would stand to reason why many of our units don’t have it, with maybe the exception of Bushkill EMS.

151.2575 = EMS 3

The PL shown in the RRDB was valid at one point, may not be anymore.

If you're a member of a Monroe County EMS agency, I suggest going through official channels to obtain the updated info.

Database updated. EMS 2 was 155.160 back in the day, not sure if that's still the case.

Just checked one of our ambulances and 155.160 is programmed in the mobile radio. I'll work on confirming the PL for 155.160 and that it is in fact EMS 2.
