Just heard them on 151.505 DCS125 testing on "Granbury tower".
This is a new one to me.

Great catch Tom. I'm going to be in your neck of the woods this week (Brock)

Apparently AE 69 moved from Glen Rose to Granbury.

Yes, AirEvac69 formerly the Glen Rose aircraft has officially moved to Granbury and plans to stay there now. They had to come to Granbury for fuel, maintenance, etc after each flight so it makes more sense to be there anyway.

Here they built a hangar and a fuel tank at their base at the PPGH helipad.

Well, actually they have been coming to Cleburne Airport for fuel
for quite some time. I hear them quite frequently. As far as the
move to Granbury, it's not so much about what makes sense.
Apparently their are other issues that have led to them relocate
from Glen Rose to Granbury. Check out this article that Tom
posted to DFWScan a while back:

Ow! Ow! Ow! The Gloves are OFF! Careflite Punches Air Evac (Glen Rose)

For what it's worth, I believe their new base is at Lake Granbury Medical Center.

Granbury frequency is now 159.5775 DPL 125.

The database listing is incorrect (shows a duplicate of the Mineral Wells listing) and apparently the db admins won't fix it for some reason.

Fixed frequency, but have a question on the DPL. You submitted that it was still 226 but have 125 on here. I left it as 226 so let me know if I need to chage it to 125.

It is 159.5775 DPL 125.
I probably copied the incorrect listing and only changed the frequency when I resubmitted it. I had it right the first time.

OK. Fixed it. Thank you for the information.
