Cool idea.

The equipment is NOT hard to find, even at surplus.

A LOT of 300 Watt base stations are now available since many low band  
paging companies have gone under.

I have never thought of using those transmitters for RPU, but for IFB,  
very cool, and not something that doesn't go where needed.
