Does anyone know if Florida FleetTalk has ceased operation or has changed operating band/frequencies? I have always had a very strong signal from the NXDN site located in Marion/Ocala area. For the last 3-4 days, I have no signal at all on the RR database confirmed frequencies (461.350, 463.875). There is currently nothing there on any of their frequencies I have monitored in the past. And yes, I have made certain my setup is functioning properly. Any information would be appreciated.

The Jacksonville and St Augustine sites were decommissioned about two years ago; the remaining users were put on Hytera push to talk over cellular radios.

Thanks for the info. There has been very little usage in my area so I won't be surprised if the Marion Co site is decommissioned as well. Time will tell. It's just that there is so little to listen to these days that isn't encrypted, I hate to lose any of it :)

All I've ever seen are Waste Connections out of Orlando/Apopka, MV Transportation in Gainesville, and FCC Environmental out of Volusia Co.

also have
128 - TTN Orlando
317 - Tricounty Tow
1154 - Unknown

1154 i believe is Waste Connection due to similar radio IDs on both TGs

Site 28 is in southwestern St Johns County. The tower is referred to as East Palatka.

UPDATE: The last few days I have begun receiving the Ocala FleetTalk repeater again, however, it is much weaker than before. In fact, I can only monitor it in the early morning before it gets lost in the noise. It must be running less power, or the antenna elevation is much lower. Since the frequencies for Ocala are unique, it can't be another repeater elsewhere on the system unless those frequencies have been re-allocated to a different site. Has anyone heard any updates on this site and what's going on with it?
