APRS:
The Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) operates in the Bay County Area on 144.390 FM. See this map for reports. There is information on APRS at findu.com and this site.
The Statewide Amateur Radio Network (SARnet) is a network of linked UHF voice repeaters that serves the State of Florida. The repeaters are operated by their local trustees and the network that connects them together does not interfere with the local use of the repeaters. These UHF repeaters were specifically chosen in part because the voice traffic on them is light. This helps ensure that long conversations and rag-chews are rare on SARnet since any SARnet traffic brings up ALL of the repeaters on the network. See https://www.sarnetfl.com/ for more info.
DMR:
The TGIF DMR Network hosts a talk group TG 850 Florida Panhandle Rag Chew. This is an informal DMR talk group where local hams in the Florida Panhandle between Tallahassee and Pensacola (area code 850) can gather, hang out, and fellowship. All other hams are welcome, too, of course! Click here for more information.

There is a DMR High-powered hotspot near Mowat Middle School in Lynn Haven.
The frequency is 146.595 MHz, Color Code 1, Timeslot 2.
The antenna is only up about 20 ft. currently, so coverage is limited.
The hotspot is connected to the TGIF network. On this network, you can reach our local talk group,
850 "Florida Panhandle Ragchew," and about 1700 other talk groups to check out.
This hotspot is temporary until we can have a DMR repeater installed.
