Bayflight 2 in Sarasota

[Eznuff575]

I have not heard Bayflight being dispatched on their 451.500 pl 192.8 for the last several day. Did they switch frequencies or abandon dispatching on that frequency.

I can still hear them on the county 800 system contacting the LZ.


Thanks

They just had a Bayflight by me and I didn't hear anything on their frequencies. Maybe Nextel?

I heard radio techs testing early last week and thought nothing of it...but after the major accident up in Lakewood Ranch last night and the call in Sarasota tonight I noticed I received no "normal" dispatch, but I did copy them talking to LZ on the county system.... maybe be their repeater is down waiting on parts or maybe they switched to something else

Haven't heard them in awhile accept a month ago on the LZ OPS frequency for Hillsborough County..All I hear now is Aero Med.

According to the above, Aeromed is a "partner." Hopefully Bayflite didn't follow suit.

I just heard radio maintenance and Bayflight base doing a test, so maybe it was a repeater malfunction.

They were back on at 19:30 tonight.

For which system St Pete or Hillsborough?

 

[Bolt21]

It's the conventional freq in post #1, not a talkgroup on a system. Bayflite2 is based in Sarasota.

 

[Eznuff575]

yes it is 451.500 pl 192.8 this is the freq for dispatching Bayflight 2 bases in Sarasota

I've been listening for activity on 451.5 since seeing this thread and heard a little activity a couple of days after reading it but now I think we can declare the frequench dead. I work right near where the copters take off (Fruitville & 75.) Last night they were flying overhead for quite awhile (training, I assume.) I havent heard them anywhere else yet. Has anyone figured out what system/frequency they went to yet? I hope its not Nextel. 73... Justin

Bayflight 2 uses 451.500 pl 192.8 when this thread was started their repeater was down so they were using Nextel. However I have heard them several time over the last few days.
