Hope to get a little insight from some members to aid me in compiling anticipated costs for a grant submission to a local charity. I don't want to identify the City that I work for as a Police Sgt (just say it is in Texas, starts w/ a Big D and we have major sports teams). Our City communications division wants to lease us a radio at a monthly charge with monthly air time and maintenance costs added in. Suffice to say they are expensive and when doing grants we are unable to include re-occuring costs like that.
What I am looking to find out is a ballpark figure for UHF and 800/900 radios for a command post vehicle. We are using Spectras and CDM2000 in the 460mhz. What would new digital(?) capable radios for 460, 800 and 900 mhz run apprx?
Thanks

Someone has to pay to support the infrastructure. In my city we have 7 PD channels with two transmit sites and eignt receiver voting receiver sites. This is all connected together with an elaberate microwave network.
A fairly large amount of the fees we charge users supports the radio system.
The radio that you use is only the tip of the iceberg. With no infrastructure there is no communications.
