Will this TRBO repeater be required to connect to any existing MOTOTRBO system, such as IP

Site Connect, Capacity Plus, Connect Plus, Capacity Max, act?

Can the VA provide the system release of the previously mentioned system?

There is no mention of an antenna system that is required for repeater operation. Does the VA need a new antenna system? No, we will be using the existing antenna. If so, how much antenna line is needed? Where is the repeater in relation to the antenna location? Is there enough room at the location for another antenna? If antenna system is not required, are we to assume we will be reusing an existing antenna or the VA will supply the antenna system?

Police have their own frequency and will not be on this one.
