Greg, Is this going to be used for commercial or Amateur purposes? What frequency band? What separation between TX and RX? Is the repeater intended for casual, low-duty-cycle purposes such as a family reunion or for high-duty-cycle purposes such as emergency support? The answers to these question will be helpful in guiding you to a solution.

I want to build my first repeater using 2 hand held radios mounted in a Pelican case with a gel cell for power. I have no idea where to start or what is required to build the repeater. Can anyone give me some ideas on connecting the radios? So far I think I have to get 2 radios, case, battery. Do I need 2 antennas or should I use a duplexer. I want this setup to be as basic as possible. Thanks in advance Greg
