I live 3 miles away from NW. They do have a DMR system but the way the antenna system is setup it can only be heard on property and very close. Last time I checked the main repeater was still setup in mixed mode as my fire dept still has access to talk to security in analog. I have not had the time to sit in the parking lot and gather any info yet.
Thank you for that information.
i believe i heard activity on 151.2450 DMR CC11 TG 1
heard activity on 151.2450 DMR CC 1 TG 1. Not CC 11

Not sure what you're asking, UPMC doesn't have any helicopters that I'm aware of. StatMedevac and AGH Lifeflight are the main helicopters that serve the area. They generally coordinate landing on the pad thru Statcom over the phone. My fire dept used to handle 2nd lzs there but UPMC installed a gate on the ER road and they let them use that now for when the pad is full. We've also put them on the grass hill above by behavioral health and in the parking lot when it was empty. That was about the only time they used radios for the choppers was 2nd lz to the fire dept.
The UPMC system is used for security, and I'm not sure if there are any other users on it inside the facility.
Working with our security at UPMC North Central, they are running Motorola R7's. The plan is/was that UPMC security HQ, in PGH or wherever it's located, would be able to talk to any UPMC campus security team in the future over MOTOTRBO IP. I'm not sure where they are at on that goal, but imagine that would mean every campus security team would have some kind of DMR radio.
LifeFlight their own licensed system. I believe Stat Medivac does as well, but we usually talk over Med channels. Beyond Security, Public Safety channels in ED, and paging, idk if UPMC utilizes any other RF radios. Intrahospital locally is handled locally via a Vocera system.

So far there is no license in Lycoming for the Stat Helicopter at Muncy, there is an assumption that they are using the Stat frequencies that are listed in the RR Database for Pennsylvania.
