Plaistow ALS frequency?

[scan32470]

With Plaistow ALS taking over regional paramedic intercept for Rockingham County, I was wondering if they're using a separate frequency for dispatch and operations compared to the Plaistow FD frequency? I'd think this would be the case because there is a lot more ALS activity than PFD activity, but I'm not close enough to pick them up to confirm this. Does anyone have any insight?

They operate on the Plaistow/Atkinson frequency dispatched by Plaistow Communications Center. For operations, they switch to the frequency of where they are dispatched to.

I've been told in addition to the Plaistow Fire channel, they're also using Motorola Wave to operate PoC on their radios as Plaistows site doesn't reach their other station.

That is third party and any confirmation/correction would be great.

Yes, I believe that is correct. I'm not familiar with PoC systems but I believe it is repeated over the conventional frequency. It is very impressive given their wide service area. It just works.
