This list isn't just for ham repeaters. :-)

All in one unit? No. Link possible? Yes, but it would require a lot of
custom building and licensing. It's possible using OEM equipment, but
would require radios that have COS (squelch) activity lines available
externally if your tech's want it all to be plug-n-play (no soldering).
