I was driving in eastern Michigan I was searching and ran across planes talking amongst themselves, and I believe Cleveland, about turbulance and altitudes. I could almost swear it was UHF. I ran across this. https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=2232 but know what it is for. Flint says Low. Detroit lists High with the same frequency multiple times. Does this mean there are multiple transmitters on the same freq?

No. The frequency is listed multiple times because the original FAA data it's taken from shows all the airports that use the frequency for IFR services. Then for some reason the RR database removes the listed airports but keeps the multiple frequency listing ? It's not multiple transmitter sites, it means there are multiple airports served by the one frequency/site.

The multiple listing for the high altitude frequency doesn't make sense as high altitude frequencies don't provide IFR services to airports. This is an anomaly/error with the original FAA database (AFF/NFDD) that is often incorrect or not updated.

Ignore the info at the top. That comes straight from FAA and isn't always accurate. The listings below that are what you should be using
