Is the old Aeromed 461.5250 completely dead? Is it used at all? I also get nothing on the airlife-3 461.9625 and airlife-5 463.4500 I do hear airlife-3 on the 451.5000 and I still hear lifeline 464.0000 I know they are on the P25 system I’m just trying to figure out what UHF freqs are still active

Areo med 4 Bartow uses the Polk county 800 P-25 System for Primary comms & Med 9 as a backup
Lifenet 5 used to use Polk just like Aero med & Med 9 as back up BUT Life net 5 is now Care Flight & I haven't heard them dispatched yet so I'm not sure where there using for Primary Comms
I have also heard Areo Med 1 & 2 on Polk tower once in a while
sorry I couldn't help with Pinellas but hopefully, this will help someone someday

N393AA was previously registered as a helicopter, but that's outdated info. If you're using FlightRadar24 or other tracking apps, the registration data is likely not accurate. It's now a Cirrus SR22. The recent flight history also isn't consistent with being a medevac.

UPDATE: Aircare is using the same TG as Lifenet was using on the Polk TRS (5158)

I scan all these areas on a monthly basis so there's a good chance I would have picked up something if it were there on a given year.
22 may not have any activity entry yet, as it could still be on a un downloaded scanner.

451.5 192.8 heard 16 17 18 19 no hits for 20 21 and 22

461.525 141.3 heard 16 17 18 (19 heard in Orlando) 20
451.525 DPL 226 unidentified - notes say helicopter background sound and Medical information relay 21 22
im thinking they switched PLs in 2020/2021 perhaps a change in ownership?

461.9625 192.8 (no hits for any years 16-22)
463.450 192.8 16 17 18 19 my notes from 2016 say "bayflight oldsmar" if i find any more hits for 463.45 ill update thread
464.000 DPL 624 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 (heard them tonight as i was typing this)

Perhapse This is a good place to put this. I was told that Airlife 4 will be going back to their original name of Bayflight 4 starting in May. It is unknown if they will be going back to being quartered at Brooksville-Tampa Bay Airport, or stay in Citrus County.

Update - As of last week they were again using the Bayflight name on the air.
