How far is the EOC from your office? I actually know of a local town with at 
the police station, a backup antenna for their UHF dispatch. What is that 
UHF antenna? Well, it sure looks like a diamond X50, and, it so happens to 
look like one on an analyzer. He was able to put a duplexer inline so it was 
still the backup for the dispatch radio, and run a cable to his EOC so it's 
also now used for 2 meters in there. Highly unlikely I know, but again 
something worth looking in to just in case.
