NEV-CORD Frequencies

NEVCORD (Nevada Air/Ground Coordination) frequencies are national interop channels specifically designated for air to ground coordination for any air ambulance (Helicopter) response to a scene. The frequencies themselves are VMED28 and VMED29, but are labeled NEVCORD1 and NEVCORD2 in radios. All EMS agencies, most fire and law enforcement agencies with VHF radios will have this frequencies in their radios. Until 2017, they were set to CSQ transmit and receive, but as per the recommendation from NIFOG, this has been changed to a transmit tone of 156.7 on both, with receive remaining CSQ. These are Narrowband FM Analog frequencies. The state DPS uses NEVCORD1 north of US50 and NEVCORD2 south of US50 (A federal highway that geographically cuts Nevada in half horizontally) as the primary use, with the alternate frequency being used as a backup in the event of a second incident nearby. All air ambulances in Nevada, as well as any other agency helicopter (for example BLM helitac birds) carry these frequencies for emergency air to ground coordination.
