Just as a suggestion,
You may wish to purchase Voting portables, then you can programme 2 channel
voting group, channel #1 being the repeater and channel #2 being simplex on
repeater input frequency if regs allow.
It's surprising how well this works

You are going to need to look hard for the equipment as it will probably need
to be purchased new due to the narrow banding rules. They will either need a
repeater so that all portables can hear each other when they are inside
buildings or they can try simplex between the base station and portables. The
repeater will probably only need to be 5 watts to cover the area.

I'm working with a relatively new non-profit that needs analog-only coverage
over their 26 acre campus. Site is pancake flat, no hills.
Anyone have a finance spreadsheet with the costs associated with a
single-site UHF system build out? Even though much of the equipment will be
used, the board likely will want to see the what "new" would cost.
Side note: they have an existing 60 foot tall building to house the repeater,
so the "tower" itself is covered.
