Alright, we are looking at getting rid of the cell phones we have for a private community up here in the poconos since plowing snow this winter and last were difficult getting a hold of the road crews via phone. figure if pitch the mobile in the truck idea may go better.
Other communities we work in have private repeaters and or lease from local radio providers.
We dont need to spend all that money we have about 10 miles of roadway, high to low elevations. Thinking if we put out the money for decent mobiles it will pay for its self on the price of three basic cell phones which they all use personal phones anyways.
We already played around with VHF vs UHF and both from portable to mobile did not cover the community well, VHF better than UHF. looking at mobile to mobile on the new digital series end thinking since it has better coverage indoors it would outside as well. local ski resort is using portables and love it.
Understand would still need to acquire FCC License for operation but only need at least 4 mobiles and maybe base station.
Suggestions welcome..
Thanks
