What is a base station?
A base station is a radio operated from a fixed site such as a dispatch center, hospital, or some other location. It usually runs off community electrical power and transmits at much higher power than smaller, portable radios. Alternative power in the form of generators or a set of batteries are usually available.

What frequency does EMS radio communication take place in?
EMS radio communication takes place in the VHF low band, VHF high band, and UHF band. VHF low band is the radio frequencies from 32-50 megahertz (MHz). They are able to follow the shape of the earth allowing communication over long distances. These frequencies are more susceptible to interference from, weather, buildings, and electrical equipment.
How do you call EMS?
In many states, there are established training and performance standards for dispatch personnel. The most common method for accessing the EMS system is the telephone. In the late 70's and early 80's, callers became able to call 9-1-1 instead of worrying which number to call.
