Any two VHF radios can be made to work as a repeater,but how they will
perform is questionable. Most cannot sustain the duty cycle of repeater
operation and will burn up quickly from overheating. The receiver may be
too wide or sloppy and permit desense from the transmitter. Then you
need to find the COR,PTT,Audio in/outs. All this if they even will
program out-of-band.
You may be better off with a Micor or a MastrII mobile conversion,they
are cheap and proven performers. You can even buy them already
converted,I have one VHF and one UHF for sale,Repeater-Builder also
sells them ready to play!
