UNC Lifeflight 800 MHz Frequency
- Thread starter RaleighGuy
- Start date
Hi, I used to work for the Durham VA Medical Center in Durham about 7 years ago and I know that at the time it was active. I am near Edenton and too far to confirm it where I am.
This may be on VIPER now; I'll hear a UNC helo talking with dispatch on VIPER TG 52340 every so often (and coming to/departing from the hospital here in Holly Springs on occasion). I haven't monitored the 800MHz freqs, but I might plug 'em in and give them a listen.
They are definitly on VIPER but most of the Med Air have analog backups, whether they are still used is the question. And, if they are it won't be often.

if im not mistaken one of the rules of viper if they require agencies to have a backup system as a failsafe. so they more then likely do still have the analog channels but never use them as they just serve as a backup
Med Center Air still frequently uses VHF 155.325 PL 91.5. They are busy with birds based in the Charlotte, Concord, Wadesboro, and Rock Hill area.
That is mainly used to call in patient reports to the ED at Carolinas Medical Center.

I heard UNC AirCare yesterday on 857.0125(TG 51539)
Thanks, but totally unrelated to the original question.
Hopefully they're not using it, since the license expired, but we know how that goes...
