ANY radio that can transmit and
receive (trans-ceiver) can be made to be a simplex repeater.
for a "real time" repeater, you need a radio that
can transmit and receive at the same time - a repeater. (requires
slight modifications to some radios)
I have a question for you now:
Why are you wanting to build a simplex repeater?
why not go the extra mile and build a real-time repeater?
The only difference will be modifying the radio
slightly (unless you buy a repeater radio) and a duplexer or two
antennas.
Plus, you won't have to have such a fancy
controller. Since most all radios can be programmed to split (transmit on a
frequency different than receive) nowadays, I don't see a reason for a simplex
machine other than the novelty of it. Maybe you can open my eyes to another
reason..
