Everyone sing along: "M-I-C--K-E-Y..." (you know the rest).

A local speaker is basically a MUST for any good repeater. I insist on
finding a way to do it, and a local mic is #2 on the list.
I ALWAYS take repeat audio BEFORE the original volume control, and if
that doesn't work, I find a way to MAKE it work. It's too vital a
diagnostic tool not to have it.
