Physically, yes, practically and without bothering your
users, probably not....
Taking packets off the input of the receiver ( mic-e type
packets) is one thing as you can put a tnc on the repeater to mute
the tx audio while it is receiving mic-e type bursts( wiring a mute
gate to the busy light of the TNC) . However I would not recommend
passing it ( the APRS packet) on that tx ( main repeater tx) but put
it out on the designated APRS freq, most probably 144.39, instead. A
much better place for it. The other thing you need on that tnc is a
is a hardware rx busy input from the 144.39 radio so as not to dump
the packet on top of a valid APRS user as this config uses the
repeater rx for the rx side of the tnc and the aprs radio for the tx
side... channel busy to the tnc needs to be wired to cor or something
similar on the aprs radio.... Only one tnc to keep costs down. It can
also be done with 2 tnc's but no particular benefit to justify the
additional cost..
