This site has some Trinity information, Looks like they use VHF and an LTR trunked system. I hear them on 155.16 a lot of the time.

Trinity:
Paging- 155.160/155.385
Operations- 484.1625
Paramedics- 462.950- Base/467.950- Mobile- Greater Lowell EMS
Haverhill also uses Trinity and are ditspatched by Haverhill Fire

That seems a bit odd to me that they use the same frequecies as UMass Lifeflight (155.160) and Hartford Lifestar (155.385) both of which are frequently within range of causing interference. What are they using for PLs on those frequencies?

155.160 (D-125) and 155.385 (D-251)

Lifelight uses 155.160 118.8 and Lifestar uses 155.385 123.0 Not sure about Lifestar, but I know for sure Lifeflight often receives interference and the bird often gets walked on while transmitting. I can only imagine this inteference is from Trinity as Lifeflight is at the top of Mount Wachusett and their transmitter rangest as far as Portland ME from my experience.

Just seems rather odd that they would have the same frequencies assigned considering both are regional.

155.385 is in the Emergency Medical Radio Service http://kauko.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/1996/90/
155.160 is not, it's in the Special Emergency Radio Service, most frequencies in the SERS are shared.

155.385 is an AMR frequency in southeastern Massachusetts, but I don't know of any other users off hand.
