Been hearing calls for UCAN coming to NW Indiana since latest post. I would think that chopper and crew are the most technically advanced in the metro area. However, UCAN does not have the ability to properly communicate with ground crews here. They'll use their private or direct channel, or fireground white which does not always work. We do have a channel similar to IFERN called A-MA (Regional Mutual Aid, region A, on Safe-T network) that covers a 6 county area. Other choppers, Med Flight and Lutheran Air have no problems talking to ground crews on the A-MA channels. I think they (UCAN) are lagging in this area (communications) and hope a major medical facility would provide the helo's with radio's need for the Tri State area they cover. It's one badass helicopter!!!
