Two Alinco 220 mobiles work very well also.

If you are interested in building it youself, a modified Clegg FM-76 or
Midland 13-509 transceiver (xtal controlled rigs) can be modified very easily
into a 220 repeater. I have done a number of repeaters like this, the first one
in the late 1970's, into a very nice 10 watt repeater with a receiver that
can't be beat as far as sensitivity is concerned. Very simple and reliable.
Numerous articles on this modification are available on the web.
Also available is the Maggiore repeaters line from
http://www.hiprorepeaters.com I have one of these on 224.18 MHz in Dallas and
it has been trouble free many, many years. I have up at 350 ft. a dB224JJ
antenna (no longer made) from dB Products (out of business, but a nice antenna).
