Careflight Air and Ground have moved to MARCS for statewide coverage. They simulcast Carecomm (dispatch) on 462.95. Locally they use several UHF frequencies including Carecomm and operations freqs in the hospitals. All RN's, Medics and Drivers carry UHF portables. I'm sitting at the south base now but alas, not with a scanner to find the ops freqs. I will have it posted when I do!

I've heard UC aircare for sure on 462.950, but out of my past week of scanning I've only heard them once. So I'm probably just tuning in at the wrong at the times.
Careflight 1 is N625CF and is the ONLY Air unit that has the new color scheme, which is blue.
Careflight 2 N164CF
Careflight 3 N63CF -and-
Careflight 4 N520CF are all identical in the Red Color Scheme.
1, 2 and 4 have MARCS radios and can be heard on CARE AIR frequently.
Careflight 3 does not have a MARCS radio, and although it's been a while since I've talked to anyone from there, it wasn't slated to get one.
I've posted (in the last few months) all of their radio i.d. information in regards to MARCS. The only number which is new is Careflight 1's MARCS Radio I.D. which is 39836. (Uniden users add a 7 to the front of that)
There was earlier mention of 123.05 as a unicom frequency. It should be noted that CareComm has this frequency in their center and use it frequently with other air units that come to MVH. They have also provided flight following help to EMS Helicopters as they transition through the Dayton Area.
