VMED 28 roll call

[JTexas539]

I have my VHF handheld for mutual aid on V med28 and around 2 PM to 2:30 PM, or was multiple units with three digit IDs radio checking and having a rollcall calling “base”.

Some of the numbers were 173, 176, and I believe 353 among a assortment of others in the 150s, 160s, and 170s.

Does anyone know who this is?

I’m just north of Waco in the McLennan county area.

Update 1: this honestly sounds like school buses. I’ll update you as I listen but I’m gonna double check that my radio is not messed with as far as frequencies go but I seriously think there are school buses on VMED 28 right now. I haven’t use this radio to talk to a helicopter yet but I have listened while they landed and I could hear them perfectly fine, so I think it’s programmed right..

What PL/DPL are they using

VMED28 is 156.7 and there are still plenty of Legacy licenses for "Special Emergency" which Vets, Ambulances and Schools Bus/Transit fell under for many FCC years

As far back as 2001 (yup an old copy of part 90 allocations)
155.340 as is now PM medical only with Tx Dept of Health letter of approval.
looking just now under FCC unlimited search EXXON Beaumont refinery had it, as well as Tx DPS and TxDot Houston.
All others were/are Hospitals,Amb Services ,Counties,Citys, FD'S...
So who knows....

I’m gonna have to check another day, I didn’t have any resources to scan for any CTCSS codes as I was at work.

I appreciate you looking into it, I’ll double check the programming on my radio and continue listening.
