Troymail,
Thanks for the complete list of statuses......
Mlevin,
Did you find this thread on tapping the pro-94?

As far as I know the County doesn't use their SMEs. Only the career medic units have KDTs, but no one knows how to use them properly, so everything goes out over the air.

What a waste of $$$$.

Troymail, at least the cops know how to use them. From I hear they're pretty worthless anyways.

N3BXV, thanks for the thread!

Thanks n3bxv and troymail, the information that both of you provided was exactly what I was looking for. It took me some time to remember how to add a file in dos, but I finally got it in, and everthing is ok. This added a new level to my scanning experience. I want to thank both of you for the information, and help.

BCFD Status changes

I cannot help you with how to monitor the status changes, but I can tell you what changes (buttons) we have- I get tired of pushing them for 4 days straight!!!


From left to right on the status head:

"En Route"
"AT" (scene)
"TOHOSP" (we actually have to tell communications which hospital using codes on channel A3)
"ATHOSP"
"IN SERVICE"
"IN STATION"
"OUT" (out of service)

Those are for medic units (including red alerts [ambo 41-44]
Fire apparatus have the same except for "TOHOSP" and "ATHOSP"

If you want to know what codes are for what hospitals let me know...
Like I said- sorry I can't help you with the technical side of monitoring it- but hope this may help a little.

Hook - thanks.... your units only have a single row
of buttons? If the buttons are the same on both FIRE
and EMS units, are the TOHOSP and ATHOSP buttons
in FIRE apparatus blanked out and/or just not used?

Troy

BTW - here are the hospital code from MIEMSS

fire buttons

Yes all the buttons are in a single row on top of the radio (looks like a separate little unit sitting on top of the radio).

The fire buttons "TOHOSP" and "ATHOSP" are blanked out- don't know what downtown would get if u hit them- if anything.
