The state of Florida has those cute little blue emergency call boxes all over the interstates and toll roads. These are hardened microwave linked radio networks that the state has allowed Amateurs to link repeaters into creating a statewide vhf/uhf network. Checkout the website and download and print th3 PDF of the towers, frequencies and pl tones. This system works great and was used during hurricane Matthew a couple weeks ago for a formal net with the county EOCs. www.sarnetfl.com 73
