Allegheny County LZ TAC

Allegheny County LZ TAC - 453.5375 - PL 186.2 - Simplex

This is the frequency to be used at all LZ in the county for Life Flight and STAT. This is the main frequency Allegheny County will give to the Helos for ground contact. This is being used more frequently mow, and is being implemented countywide.

PACER Paramedic Responsse

I received an email about a new response service available to the East Zone. PACER Paramedic Response station 290. I will post frequency and tones when I get them.

There will be changes to the East and South zones, likely in August. Expect to see new police EMS, and fire freqs for both zones. Looks as if some South Zone freqs will be reallocated to East. From what I've heard the new South police channel comes in nice and strong.

The single frequency multicast with multiple transmitter sites are sounding good. The reallocation of the countywide Tac freqs with zones, users, and uses for certain Tac channels is good to see. I will post more as these come on air and are confirmed. Overall a more efficient, and organized system.
