The NTSB is reporting PAT25 was operating on UHF. Audio from PAT25 can be heard on the DCA Tower Helicopter feed that only shows the VHF frequency 134.350 being monitored. Can someone confirm that the radio is also monitoring the UHF frequency ? Or is the NTSB wrong ?

According to the feed provider, only the two listed VHF frequencies were on the KDCA Heli feed at the time of the accident.

Thanks. They were using VHF on all the other Potomac sectors they worked on their flight as well. So not sure what the NTSB was talking about ?
