Our SO here put up a monster tower, used what they needed and started renting space off of it to different companies. In a little over a year the tower space was filled. Im sure the tower cost plenty, but the returns in better comms and the income from the rental space knocked the overall cost burden down quite a bit..........Hoser

What kind of system are they using? Are they using 800 MHz P25?
