I generally don't get involved in online dicussions such as this, but I will
have to concur on what Russ said, as I personally called the FCC field
office about this matter about five months ago, and what I was told is that
there is no mobile that is acceptable to be converted as a base repeater.
They would not give any model numbers as such, generalized it as mobile
radios. I tried to get them to commit to what could be used, and they would
not elaborate on that either, just stated that it had to be originally Part
95 certified. I as well wanted to convert a micor to use on GMRS as a
freebie for the public, and was told that it in no way could be used. If I
search my archives, I might be able to find the original email that I sent
to them before I called there office to confirm. In actual, the FCC would
not talk to me, they forwarded my call to a help center that dealt with it
directly. Kinda made me feel that they did not have time for me. However
they was willing to help me get the license if I had my credit card ready.
Tis what I was told, for what it is worth.
