Any idea what Hiawatha Ambulance TGID is? I am not finding it and they come to our town quite a bit but have never heard the transmissions.

Hiawatha Ambulance is paged on 460.200 (POCSAG). The crew will acknowledge the page(as seen below) on Linn Co Fire 1 TG.

ADAM 85 or ADAM 86 will go en route on Linn Co Fire 1, then move to the talkgroup assigned in the original page.

0006955 10:27:19 01-01-24 MORRIS HILLS RD/HORSESHOE LAKE RD; 10-50 UNK IPHONE CRASH NOTIFICATION; FIRE 3

0006955 04:30:37 02-04-24 (ADDRESS REMOVED) SHELLSBURG; 73F DANGLING OFF BED- UNRESPONSIVE; CON/ BREATHING; FIRE 2

Hope this clears things up a bit.

It's one of those gray areas anymore. Listening (Watching) pagers are supposed to be illegal now. The program I used was by a Dutch programmer who gave up after people started to post the messages online. Couldn't even tell you the name now. It's been over twenty five years ago I used it.
