First, before you connect make sure you begin the software installation. After that is done, it probably will prompt you to connect the radio to the computer (assuming it's a USB interface). After that the software *should* be self-explanatory. Radio Reference.com has a list of all the Dutchess County frequencies.

dont expect anything on 22 in pawling, the town board thinks it would be wrong to have anything but strip plazas on 22, trying to keep everything in the village

Hell, even in the village some type of fast food, or restaurant would be nice. Waiting for the train? grab some food to go. Unless you want pizza there isnt really too many options around the train station.

Line-Up @ 18:30

Step Off @ 19:00

Sonic would be nice. Always see commercials on TV, but no Sonic's to be found I'd like to see more food choices along Rt 55 and Route 22. 22 has KFC in Pawling, and used to have a Burger King. I wouldn't mind seeing a Taco Bell or a Long John Silvers in that area.

Weather isnt looking too good now.

As always, great shots Bill

I second everyones post above. Good luck to all the Alamo Employees. TransCare has said they are going to do somethings similar, they're going to be a seperate entity from the Brooklyn operation, so who knows. Granted, saying it and doing it are two different things, but give TransCare the benefit of the doubt. Once again, Best of luck to the Alamo EMS staff!!

It was a great parade. Good turnout in all the departments that attended!

I don't think it's all about underbidding. I seem to recall Transcare actually came in ABOVE Alamo on one or more of the Pawling/Beekman/Unionvale contracts and the towns still decided to go with them.

If memory serves correct Transcare was 30k more than Alamo, but the towns had a bad experience with Alamo in the past, which is why TC was selected.

MLSS will NOT be be bought by anyone because we are NOT being sold.

And why would NDP's owners sell out to TransCare when we just walked away from the merge with Alamo so they could stay in control of the company?

Are you an owner of MLSS? or on the board?

In regards to the NDP story, if the price is right, I'm sure ANY company would sell. Nothing is "never for sale". Not true

At this point rumors are just rumors.......... At this time HQ is not selling Alamo...and in fact will be doing the transports out of another HQ affiliate hospital. As to firing or laying off Full timers that is not the case.

I have heard that Transcare wants all of Dutchess county so that would mean they are going after not only Alamo but MLSS, and NDP!!!

Just remember bigger doesn't always mean better. The more you have the greater the risk you have to make mistakes and make taxpayers and fire districts unhappy!!!

Yes, Alamo is growing, and increasing services offered out of Northern Dutchess Hospital. TransCare however is gaining more turf in Dutchess County as is self-evident. As of now they hold Beekman, Millbrook, Pawling, Union Vale, Wappingers. The clock is also ticking for them to pick up Dover, which I think will happen within the year. The question we all have to ask our self is, all ambulance services provide the same thing and have a common interest, care, right?. I'm pretty sure they all share the common goal. However, how long will it take for an ambulance to get to the scene, is another question and a major factor in the overall picture.

Hopefully that doesn't happen. The health quest benefits are pretty solid.

Agreed, you cant go wrong with HealthQuest benefits. Awesome package. TransCare's is something like $200+ every other week. That's a LOT
