If you'd be willing to share your notes and interfacing information it will save me having to reinvent that part of the wheel.
If the mod is as easy as I think it is I will do up a web page for repeater-builder. And in my location the external RX isn't needed, but I am going to try and develop that part of the mod anyway, simple because it will be of help to others that don't have the best signal. The local NWS TX here is 250w (into a 10db stick), and it's on Mount Wilson at 5000 feet. I've got line of sight to the TX... I can see the antenna with a decent pair of field glasses - it's at a 30-40 degree angle of elevation about 8-9 miles away...
