The same type acceptance rules that you mention for GMRS also apply to a
part 90 repeater. Home built repeaters do not carry a type acceptance for
part 90.
The only service that can use equipment that is not type accepted is the
amateur radio service and possibly the federal services such as military,
and the three letter agencies.
