NO -  we like them and have tested them over the summer We gave one to
the police, division of student affairs, and have a few on reserve. It
is working great. It is nly a housing radio and you get no outside
chatter!

We use Motorola Radius gp300 UHF radios. They use a repeater on top of
our library. The signal will carry about 20 miles from campus. A license
is required. They work very well. Our experience with other brand radios
has not been so good. The Motorola's are built to last. We have several
frequencies we share with Physical Plant and our student security
organization. Have you considered cell phones?
