My company is looking into finally getting rid of nextel and going commercial radio.
The problem is that we are in a geographically challenged area for hand held (HT) radios. Meaning we would need about 4 repeaters to cover our entire area (approx. 16sq miles. 4mi x 4 mi).
Our staff is often away from the vehicle they are assigned and would need to be able to communicate via HT at all times. The operator is rarely more than 1/2 mile from his vehicle.
I was thinking we could setup each HT to transmit with a specific sub tone to its parent repeater inside the operators vehicle. This would operate similar to CHP HT -TO - MOBILE, or a HAM Cross-band repeater.
Each HT would be assigned to a specific vehicle (mobile repeater) by PL Tone.
HT A = VEHICLE A, HT B = VEHICLE B ....
Example:
All Hand Held radios (HT's) would transmit on 461.525, and receive on 466.525
All vehicles would receive on 461.525 and re-transmit on 466.525
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hand Held - A - TX 461.525 PL 123.00HZ @ 5 WATTS // [RX on 466.525 PL 100.00HZ]
TO
Vehicle - A - RX 461.525 PL 123.00HZ ///RE-TRANSMIT/// TX on 466.525 PL 100.00HZ @ 50 WATTS
(Basically A mobile non fixed repeater for each vehicle and operator, separated by PL input tones)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this technically legal for commercial use for a private company?
Thanks yall...
