UHF Med Channels

[yardbird]

I wanted to throw this out and see what kind of response I get.

I am just curious to see how many counties still use the old UHF Med Channels.

At one time the Office of Emergency Medical Services published the Dial Codes book. Since the former communications director retired they have stopped publishing it.

I know the Office of EMS still maintains the Med 8 & 10 repeaters through out the state.

Just curious for informational purposes.

I think maybe Haywood County is the only county left still dispatching on Med 9. Everybody else has abandoned the channel.

I have a Motorola Micor and GE Master II Med Radios and would like to maybe find another Micor for my collection.

Thanks

David

Likely the codes have not changed but reading indepth of the OEMS Web, seems there is a push over to VIPER
NC DHSR OEMS: Technology

Hope this helps some.

I miss the good old Dial Codes book. I have every year from 1985 to the last book printed.

The 2003 edition you posted I have downloaded. I use it just about daily for reference.

I miss the good old med channels, but like everything else technology changes.

Cell phones replaced UHF Med Channels. The big old orange box with the phone to call the hospital was awesome. Big old battery that needed to be charged all the time.

I still have a bank in one of my scanners dedicated to uhf med coms but I can't remember the last time I heard any traffic on any of those channels. Years, it seems.

They are pretty much dead. Either cell phones or a TRS took over and encrypted

I don't think I've ever heard the UHF med frequencies used around here. Granted, I don't scan them a ton. CMED is still active occasionally, but most everything has gone to P25 trunking (mostly VIPER).

Hello. MED 8 and VHF 155.340 are installed in all 5 of the EastCare helicopters and furthermore all EastCare ground units and are always on to be used as backup communications to our communications center. If VIPER Patient Report talkgroup is down, MED 8 is the next line of communications for the aircraft.
Have a safe day, Joe. EastCare 5 Flight Nurse
