The York County 911 System is now using a digital alphanumeric paging system for all fire, rescue, EMS, and HAZMAT services within York County. The pager system is an 18-site simulcast transmission system using the frequency of 453.000mhz NFM, and a 1200bps POCSAG alphanumeric pager format.
STANDARD CODE FORMAT
Generally speaking, the pager riccodes (better know as cap-codes) are assigned in a standard format based on the station number assigned to the service. There are some exceptions listed below the general format examples.
Example 1 (fire station) Fire Station #25 would have the following cap-codes assigned: 025000 for fire dispatches 025016 for duty officer pages 025024 for fire police dispatches 025992 for in-station alerting system activations (optional per department, may be used for station bells or house siren)
Example 2 (EMS agency) EMS agencies' capcodes are assigned similarly as fire stations, with a leading 2. For example, EMS station 19's capcode is 219000.
EMS agencies not using standard format:
250000 Station 250 White Rose EMS
