Tom, The method I have built for customers is using split sites. (transmitter at one site and receiver at another) These sites should be separated by about 1/2 to 1 mile. A UHF or 220 link is used to go between the two sites. We use GE MII equipment for all the Tx's and Rx's. Basically it requires two radios: a 10M MII and a UHF MII. We swap the 10M Rx into the UHF radio and the UHF Rx into the 10M radio. The result is a 10M -> UHF and a UHF ->10M cross band repeater. The 10M Rx end is usually made to be dumb. Whatever comes in on the 10M Rx goes out on the UHF link channel. (CTCSS, Voice, etc.) This end of the system is simply controlled by COS logic on the 10M Rx.
The system controller is located at the 10M Tx site. Since everything is coming back on the UHF link, you can run CTCSS on the system (helpful to eliminate co-channel users) The CTCSS decoder nicely interfaces with the on-site repeater controller. The other advantage is that you have a UHF frequency that you can run a control signal into to shut the system down if needed. This is a basic overview, but it will give you some ideas.
