[Scan-DC] MD EMRC Frequencies/Montgomery "Ammalances"

[Doug K.]

Thanks Gary!  I remember from times past that the signals are pretty weak on 
these channels, which would account for my not hearing anything - it may be 
just that here in Gaithersburg.

I see an email here from Ed, headed there to look at it (I probably should 
have read everything before answering anything!), but I think Mtgy may be 
doing something different... most transport info now doesn't seem to be 
going thru "hedquarters" (formerly ECC, now PSCC!) in Montgomery any more, 
unless the BLS/ALS unit can't raise the hospital on whatever they're trying 
to raise them on.  (I wonder if they're using the wonderful "MDCs" for 
that...)

Regards,

Doug
