I didn't find anything in the FCC Database. I have a couple of friends who work for them in Batesville. I'll see what I can come up with.

Tnx Matthew. It's likely that I'll hear them at least from time to time. Batesville is southwest of me and in line with Tropospheric Ducting that takes place often.

Where are they based out of?

Their home office is in West Plains, MO. They have an office in Batesville. I talked with a friend of mine who is a flight medic for them and he says they use State Hospital Net for patient reports and they use a series of towers to talk to their dispatch center in West Plains. So, I guess you can take all of their frequencies listed in the FCC database, plug them all in, and see what happens!!

This air evac is just out of my listening area to investigate....

The Corinth, MS Tower (near me) is 160.140 MHz, but I was looking for the Tower frequency that Air Evac 61 uses in the Batesville area (about 100 miles southwest of me). I heard Air Evac 61 on the Corinth Tower when they were at the North MS Medical Center in Tupelo the other day. Tupelo is closer to Corinth, so I'm sure they switch to the Corinth Tower. I have all the [listed] Air Evac frequencies in my scanner, but Batesville (or any nearby locations in that county/area) or not listed. Tnx.

Listen to local FD's/EMS for comms for LZ/patient updates for inbound helos... Most helos nationwide talk directly to the units on scene.

Tnx milf. I do that all the time. Cherokee VFD is in priority on my 996. I hear Air Evac's 7, 16 and 58 (and 15 from time to time) on the Cherokee VFD frequency and surrounding counties/agencies frequencies during emergency situations. Air Evac has my coordinates for LZ if necessary.

I'll continue to listen for activity in the Batesville area, both for the Tower and local agencies there. Tnx again.
