Not the best choice. I'd look for something that can actually handle
long term usage, like, staying with Kenwood, a TKR-820 desktop repeater.
It has everything you need except the antenna, although not all of them
have a duplexer. But a standard mobile duplexer will fit *inside* the
cabinet.

Barring what I just mentioned, the Com-Spec TP-3200 is the best way to
go for a GMRS repeater. But any real tone panel will work fine.

No! The only control signals available at the mic connector are transmit
functions. You need receive audio, *BEFORE* the volume control, and COS.

Any brand name mobile duplexer will do the job up to about 25-30W. Most
are rated to 50W, but they really don't have enough isolation to work
properly at that level.

I wouldn't use a mag mount, but a permanent 1/4-wave on the *metal* roof
will work for short range use.
