Does anyone have info on frequencies currently used to page/dispatch medical helicopters, particularly in the Taos/Northern NM area such as N257AM? The State listing for medical stuff lists 461.925 on San Antonio Peak (Lifegard B); it appears Holy Cross got a new license for this frequency under WQYG757 and took it off the mountain site and apparently moved it to the hospital. Do they still use 461.925?

I frequently hear Helo's talking to Holy Cross on Med Ch. 4, but I'm curious what frequencies are currently in use for Med. Helicopter paging/dispatching.

That listing is quite old (2004) and aside from PHI and UNM (not Northern NM) HEMS in New Mexico mostly use satellite or cell phones for dispatching and flight following. (Tristate & Classic) My bet is the hospital kept the old frequency and modified it for internal use. Of course the pilot will still be on airband to talk to other traffic and ATC as well.
