I have to agree. The ham repeaters here outperform the fire, police and med systems hands down. All with cast-off "junk."

I am not a Ham and do not build repeaters from junk as stated earlier.

Please realize that this list is for hams as well as commercial folks, so don't try to jam your 'always buy new' theory down anyone's throat here.
I can guarantee you that the ham repeaters around here will blow away all of the commercial installations.  Hams are MUCH harder to please and demand better performance.  My 2 meter system and my 440 system covers all of my County, something that cannot be said for the multi-thousand dollar County radio installation.
I do know that with Kenwood, Kenwood Systems and Maggiore you get a two year wan tee.

Also, the topic here is 220 MHz repeaters.  Does Kenwood, Motorola, Midland, and Johnson build 220 MHz. ham repeaters?
If not, it really doesn't matter how damn good their (wan tee) is.
