In a previous life, I distributed hand held air band radios, and many hand held sets were in use as low cost ops base stations.
The regulations might have changed, and thus the "base station" might be mandated, allow 1000.00 stg for the set, cable, power supply, and basic aerial.
There are companies selling second hand units.

The park air unit was a regular item in small towers, and assuming the band width requirements can be met, will be suitable.
