 Guys,
 
 I work for our local County as their Radio Tech and our Road 
Department would like to be able to keep tabs on some, not all, of 
their vehicles, especially in areas where their cell phone coverage 
is flaky at best.
 
 They have a UHF system located on a mountain top approximately 
4250', centrally located within the County.
 
 Not having any experience with APRS, would this be a viable way to 
do this?
 
 I know that APRS can be monitored via the internet, but is that 
strictly for Amateur use, or can the software be purchased for 
commercial useage?
 
 Thanks!
