LifeNet in Sussex Co

[philacop]

Does anyone know if LifeNet Medical Helicopter is still using the 151.825 frequency in Sussex County?
Thanks

I monitor the 3 frequencies listed in db for medevac in Sussex, but never hear anything (maybe I am too far away). The freq you list isn't one of the three.

My mistake!
I meant 151.850
I know the other was 160.
Don’t know of a 3rd one
What do you have as a 3rd one ?
Thanks

LifeNet 61/64 statewide - 160.02
LifeNet 64 - 151.85
MedSTAR 3 - 462.95 (I guess this is from MD)

But like I said, i don't hear anything on these from Fenwick Island.

I was told they go through avcom which is encrypted

I picked up transmission on 151.85 about half an hour ago, loud and clear, they had onboard an elderly man.
I have a homemade antenna taped to my wall, have a BC 560XLT scanner.
Im a newbi

I have scanned for these frequencies with mixed luck. I monitor from the Dagsboro / Millville area. The 151.850 frequency is the Sussex area Lifenet 64 frequency. There dispatch center uses a tone to alert the helicopter to a mission. Then the Helo calls enroute and accepts the mission. Right after that a patient information report is provided. That's pretty much all that is heard on that frequency. I believe once lifenet 64 gets near the new castle co area then they communicate on 160 frequency along with the Jeffstat helos. Other Comms like all Airband would be Georgetown airport unicom and helo unicom other than when transiting into and out of class airspaces. I have all the medevac frequencies programmed in different types of radios / pagers. I have the best luck with my Yeasu ft2900 with a home exterior mounted 2m antenna. I also have a Motorola Astro Spectra programmed. Both of those radios are solid for power and clarity. I also have a Motorola Minitor 4 programmed with 151.85 in it and that receives very well. I do have these frequencies in a few different scanners with 0 luck. I do believe the frequency power output is 40 watts from Georgetown airport so not super high powered to here on the ground, more then enough once airborne. Lastly The scanner compared to a band specific radio day and night. if hearing these frequencies are a must then I would monitor on a dedicated radio band specific. Hopefully this helps.

160.02 PL 156.7 is the Newark tower. 151.85 PL 100 is the Seaford tower. Both are Motorola MTR-2000's.
