Has anyone has ever confirmed a freq or trunked system talkgroup used by the Mercyhealth REACT aeromedical helicopter (based in Rockford) for dispatch comms? 155.220 (127.3) is shown in the Radio Reference database for them, but I can't recall ever hearing them there.

They were flying a mission between Rockford and Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield this afternoon. The helo was calling CDH on MERCI 340 but, as far as I heard, they got no reply. I imagine that the helo might have access to a wide-area trunked system (like STARCOM21, Diga-Talk, etc.) for dispatch comms, but I've never found them on one. Mercyhealth uses STARCOM21 TG 3631 for their MD-1 program, but I've never heard the REACT helo there.

Thanks in advance...

They use the 800 frequency listed in the database its simplex and low power so it pretty hard to hear it

Edit: 855.3125 / 810.3125 503DPL

There iss some major cleaning/updating needing to be done to Winnebago County, I'll end up sending it in one day
