If there is no alternative and it really is necessary to go with the 800 MHz frequency, then I would say that going with Motorolla radios would be the best option, since the infrastructure would be based on Motorolla hardware. I can see it now when the city calls up Motorolla technical support and they give them a big Fy because the problem is with the unsupported radio receivers.
