The Eisenhower VA Medical Center in Leavenworth, KS uses vhf and uhf radios, no nextel as far as I can tell.  But Police and Fire comms on 163.0875R are encrypted P-25.  Maintenence, military cemetery and paging are all in the clear.

Well what is the Security force carrying for radios?   I do not think they
would be using nextel's as the primary method.  HOWEVER, admin & maintenance
could be using nextel primarily.

I think that most large VA facilities are set up like this (based upon past
contract bidding requests)
Security 2 frequencies, 1 repeater & 1 simplex
Maintenance 1 simplex frequency, sometimes repeater
Administrative & Common Use 1 frequncy simplex (could be repeaterized)
Advantage of nextel's is that they can get text paging, private two way
(nationwide wide wt), as well as cellular telephone access.

Antennas could be mutual aid or even leased space to non goverment radio
systems.
