We present projected Fast Radio Burst detection rates from surveys carried
out using a set of hypothetical close-packed array telescopes. The cost
efficiency of such a survey falls at least as fast as the inverse square of the
survey frequency. There is an optimum array element effective area in the range
0 to 25 $rm{m^2}$. If the power law index of the FRB integrated source count
versus fluence $alpha = d ~ln R/d ~ln F > -1$ the most cost effective
telescope layout uses individual dipole elements, which provides an all-sky
field of view. If $alpha <-1$ dish arrays are more cost effective.
