The set of frequencies that we just got done installing for our local commercial machine fall into the commercial pool of business band. I ran DPL on the repeater as to not have anyone that doesn't belong on the machine and the new system as several people (I never found out who) thought it was nice to be able to harass our staff when we were running PL on the old system.
