Radio Shack did sell a simplex repeater controller at one time. They
are on e-bay much of the time. However, this is only a controller, not
a repeater.
I don't think RS sold a radio wired to this controller as a package.
The use of the controller was up to the buyer...mostly for Ham use, but
I am sure many used for other services.
Simplex repeaters have their use such as for announcments. As for
regular radio-to-radio comm it sucks.

Are you sure about that? They were actually selling them at one point.
I think Radio Shack had one.
I would like to see where it says you can’t do it. I will read again
but I didn’t see it written anywhere.

I am thinking about doing a store and forward repeater for GMRS.
"store and forward" repeater(s) are forbidden on GMRS.
ALL repeaters and base stations must meet .002% frequency tolerance.
They also must meet the later transmitter audio filtering .
Small base stations, 5watts or less, and mobiles must meet the .005%
tolerance.
