Air Ambulance traffic on 461.9875??

[natedawg1604]

Recently I've been hearing Air Ambulance traffic on 461.9875, DPL 606. It may be related to Air Link at MCR. Can someone confirm this?? 461.9875 is registered to PVH in ULS (WQPD524).

The current RR listing for Air Link MCR shows 463.5875, 606 DPL. I submitted 463.5875 after seeing it in the Wiki and verifying it was Air Link-related. I'm not sure if it's still active, but at one point I definitely heard Air Link traffic on 463.5875. Notably a ULS search for 463.5875 returns no hospital-related owners. Has anyone else been hearing Air Ambulance traffic on 463.5875 lately? Perhaps they switched frequencies and are now using 461.9875...

I listened to 461.9875 MHz today. It sounds like the channel between the helicopter and probably the emergency room. Traffic seems to be logistics stuff; who the night pilots are, leaving to go refuel, etc.

Does air Ambulance use the DTRS too?

 

[Robbie04]

Yes. They use DTRS but encrypted so nothing to hear. They also use the regular aircraft freqs between 108 and 128 or 39 mhz.

What are the frequencies that they use on 39MHz?

What are the frequencies that they use on 39MHz?

All I can think is the the military choppers used to use low band, And when have you heard the air med TG's encrypted?
