I wanted a reliable P25 digital system to use. Every pair in my area is supposedly coordinated. http://www.metrocor.net/frequencylist.htm Many are paper repeaters that are supposedly local to me. I put up a mixed mode P25 machine on VHF. The NAC is set to the digital equivalent of CSQ. The system ID's itself per 97.119. The antenna has a deep null toward the active system on my pair (which is actually below the radio horizon). The system is engineered to provide local coverage only. No linking, no IRLP, just a basic P25 local repeater. The point being I would not care if other used the system. It's been up for a more then a year. Not a peep from anyone other then the handful of people I told about it.
