One big question is what's your duty cycle going to be? Another is what is your potential desense going to be? Back before we lost 220-222 one system in an area that used in-high and out-low on UHF was going to use a couple of low end channels as inbound link frequencies until he did the math... There was no way he could make a 250w system near 441.750 live with a receiver near 220.800. He ended up using 900 Mhz for the links. After we lost 220-221 he was happy he had gone that route. It would be interesting to do a survey of 220-222 and see just how used it is. It might be worth filing the FCC paperwork to get it back. Mike
