Medical Chopper Flights (San Jose, CA)
 

Hey there,

So I've been living in this area for almost 4 years now. I've found most of
the frequencies for the local services I want to monitor.

I have a county hosptial with a trauma center maybe 2 miles from my home.
They have a helicopter that is always flying in and out.

Can't seem to find any info on what frequencies they would use. I'm sure
they talk back to base letting them know what is coming in, right? Plus
they probably check in while in-route.

This is for Valley Medical Center located on Bascom Ave in San Jose, CA.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!

Charlie

They often use Calcord, 33.9600MHz. Check

Often due to the short travel time or the likely hood that a patient
is critical, there may not be time for a ring down. If however they
do, it'd possibly be on Med-92: 857.4375. But a majority are on Nextel
now.

Ok, so it sounds like there may not be a lot to hear. I would think they'd
have to check-in with the Hospital enroute, No? I didn't think it was legal
to use Nextels in an aircraft.

I'll try the frequencies mentioned. Thanks for the info!
