279.375 or 279.650 ? I don't see 279.375 on the list. Scan the 2 frequencies and see if the controller is working the same aircraft.

I'm talking about Chicago Center not Tower or Approach, and it was 290.375 (Tower/Ground) that was mentioned earlier in the thread not 297.375. Chicago Center 124.725 should be coupled with 279.650 but I'm guessing you are not able to hear the controllers on either of these 2 frequencies.

I wouldn't remove them because it covers airspace over your location!
It looks like the Chicago Center RCAG at Rockford is at a separate site located about 10 miles north of the KRFD airport. The latest FAA AFF does not list a UHF frequency there anymore, so it might have been decomissioned, that's why I was wondering if the controller could be heard simulcasting on 279.650 along with 124.725. The OP might be not able to hear the controller on 124.725 given the location of the RCAG ? Maybe someone else in the know can confirm what UHF frequency is used in that Hawks 92 Sector so the RR Database can be updated if required.

In the previous post, 121.000 should be changed to KRFD AppDepE VHF and 126.000 should be changed to AppDepW VHF to limit alpha tags to 16 characters.

As mentioned above, they are the final approach fixes (FAF) for the various runways. The aircraft is usually told to contact tower at the FAF. They will monitor the approach frequency until then for any speed changes or any other message the approach controller needs to pass along.
