Hospital Emergency Administrative Radio (HEAR)

[Scot Phelps]

I wanted to see if anybody is using the old
Hospital Emergency Administrative Radio (HEAR) system?

This still exists, infrastructure is still probably in place, nobody uses it, and radios are $50 rather than $4,000 (that's 80 radios for the price of 1...)

We still use it a little. As most EMS is migrating to our statewide 800 MHz trunked system, even the cheap price doesn't make sense, since EMS uses the same radios for hospital notifications that they use for dispatch, fireground, etc. However, there are still some smaller agencies that use HEAR (though no one around here calls it that), so most hospitals in our region maintain it.

I can't say for sure how many are actually using it, but the requirement to have it available remains in the NJ hospitals and EMS regulations.

In Southwest Missouri it is used all the time.  "minutely" if that is a word.  Ambulance crews give reports to any hospital in the region on that frequency.  Go towards Kansas City or St louis, and they do not use it.
There is talk of trying to patch it over to the various trunked systems as well as the Mo SWIN system.

Still active in Arkansas.  Rural ambulances use it for pt reports and each licensed unit is required by state law to have them.  Many fire and rescue units program their radios although most are using the statewide WIN now.  I programmed all my fire/rescue radios with 155.340 MHz and maintain a VHF repeater should the WIN fail.  Trauma reports and most metro units here operate on a 700/800 MHz TRS system, often the statewide WIN, but VHF HEARS is the most common and used for MCIs, mutual aid, etc.  Only a few operate UHF HEARS but this is primarily used for voice paging, data, and AVL (GPS tracking).  The Little Rock metro (five counties), has UHF repeaters up for backup communications should the statewide WIN fail and now they have their own amateur radio club with employees and volunteers should the WIN, VHF hears (simplex only), and the UHF HEARS fail.

Be safe sir.
