Emergency Radio
Our Emergency Radios operate on the REGA network, i.e. E Channel, which is available to everyone in Switzerland to make an emergency call when the telephone network is unavailable.
Rega’s Operations Center monitors the E channel via its network of 42 relay stations throughout Switzerland.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
An Emergency Radio is used to notify rescue services in the event of an emergency or accident when the telephone network is not available. If possible, always try to call 1414 for REGA, 144 or 112 first.
All our Emergency Radios come from previous series or old stocks.
Why do we do this ?
Our aim is to revalorize decommissioned radio equipment and give it a second life.
Thanks to REGA’s radio network infrastructure, the REGA Operations Centre (VIVA in Valais) can be reached from almost anywhere in Switzerland by radio.
No :
“The emergency radio network and emergency radio equipment are available to all but this is solely for the purpose of raising the alarm in an emergency. This emergency radio network (frequency 161.300 MHz) uses the infrastructure of the Swiss Air Rescue (REGA) network which covers a large part of Switzerland.”
By pressing the Emergency Call button, you trigger an alarm at the REGA Operations Centre. The radio relay through which the call is routed acknowledges the alarm with three long tones. REGA then responds with “REGA, who is calling REGA ?”
By pressing the Test Call button, you trigger the radio relay(s) closest to you. The system acknowledges the Test call with two long tones.
The 123Hz Squelch, or more precisely CTCSS “Continuous Tone Code Squelch System”, is a selective reception system.
In this case, it is used to filter out potential disturbances on the radio channel.
On the other hand, its use is necessary in order to be able to use the E channel (respectively trigger the radio relays) in Haute-Savoie (France) and Valle d’Aosta (Italy).
