Hello,

I noticed on a show on the Discovery Life channel the doctors and some of the Stock Trauma staff carry
whats looks to be Kenwood portable UHF radios does anyone know the frequency and Tone for that
notification system as I visit Baltimore at least once a year and would love to program then into my radio.

Also what is the best Syscom freqs and tones and her the medevac coming in and out of the
city and coordinating with other aircraft like fox / bcpd.

Thanks everyone for your input.

The radios are UHF with leaky feeder cable inside STC. They connect to EMRC across the street.

You can try the MSP Aviation/SYSCOM frequencies list here:State Police Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

As of today (at least for the moment), it looks like some of this is patched to a Maryland FiRST talkgroup:
First Responders Interoperable Radio System Team (FIRST) Trunking System, Various, Maryland - Scanner Frequencies

As far as BCP Foxtrot helicopters, they can be found on Citywide or a district channel, depends. They are also up on the Baltimore common helicopter frequency for coordination with news helicopters, etc: 123.025.

The frequency used by Shock Trauma to allow the trauma doctor on duty to be connected with SYSCOM/EMRC is colloquially known as "Med5.5" because it sits half-way between Med 5 and Med 6 (those med channels aren't used in the Baltimore Metro area to avoid co-channel interference in the wide-band days). The frequency is 463.1125/468.1125 PL167.9. . As DisasterGuy mentioned, it's used by EMRC to patch an incoming transport unit (air or ground) into the trauma doctor, regardless of where s/he is located on the UMMC Downtown campus. Any time a transporting unit requests a "trauma line" with Shock Trauma, they are connected to the base station in the TRU, and via Med5.5 with the trauma doctor, and a warble tone is sounded to alert the doctor to an incoming consult. If a transporting unit is requesting "information only" with Shock Trauma, only the base station in the TRU is connected and there is no warble tone.
