The St. Augustine site for Florida Fleet Talk has been down for a month. Anybody have any info?
Florida Fleet Talk St Augustine
- Thread starter jeff
- Start date
I no longer work there (previous employer) but believe it may have been effected by the storms.
I was up in SA 4 weeks ago and had that issue also. There was no Control Channel before the storm so I don't know if they are upgrading or turn it off for something else.

RF is good for you
The site has been decommissioned. The assumption is the Palatka site will fill in most of St Augustine still.
Wow. The Palatka site is actually east of Hastings. I haven't noticed any degradation of transmissions from the St Augustine users.
I now have the Jacksonville and Palatka (Hastings) sites down.
Wonder if they switched over to a new system or freqs?
It's been a week and no traffic, and no new freqs. I'm assuming they went to LTE PTT.
Are you able to pick up hastings site? On my last trip there in SA I heard some traffic on the hastings site.
No, the 3 sites I was able to receive are now silent. I wonder if any of the other Reidy, Rhodes & Taylor sites are still up.
The Palatka (Hastings) site is back up, I'm not hearing any voice traffic.
The Jax and St Augustine sites are quiet. The Palatka (Hastings) site has radios affiliating but none of the St Johns and Duval county users. Some traffic was heard from a Volusia county user. No new systems have been noted in the area.

Analog already is interoperable.
That whole system has always been dead in Tampa. It's a wonder how these radio companies stay in business.

not that florida man
Seems the FL Fleet Talk site in Tampa is down too? It's been a while since I've tried listening to it from Thonotosassa and I can't seem to lock onto it anymore.

I'm still getting a control channel:
I wonder if they are going to the Con+ system ? Or updating the fleet talk ?
The Palatka (Hastings) site is affiliating with the Baldwin, Ocala and Daytona sites. I sent an inquiry on the Fleet Talk FB page about the Jax and St Augustine sites, their reply was that they were both decommisioned.
22 and 23 where decommissioned, JAX because the said tower company didn't want to fix the TX line issues. Other sites to possibly follow through this year. Sadly I am no longer with FCG/RRT.
Hastings site 28 coming in full scale in polk county.
