But you could use one for the receiver and another for the transmitter. BUT........ While they are great radios for their designed purpose, if you're going to run the transmitter in repeater duty you need to crank the power down (rated 30 watts as a mobile) to no more than 20 watts AND get tons of air moving, not only across the PA heatsink but the entire TX assembly as well. Of course, there is the little matter of programming the EEPROMS in 'em but there are folks who can do it for you. And they will tune down into the ham band very easily Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ President and CTO - Arcom Communications Makers of repeater controllers and accessories. http://www.arcomcontrollers.com/ Authorized Dealers for Kenwood and Telewave and we offer complete repeater packages!
