FRS is not set up to be used through a repeater. My only legal/illegal comment would be to make sure the frequencies are legal to be used in the host country and whether a license is needed or not?
I am not aware of any reciprical (sp?) agreement for any GMRS/FRS frequencies between the US and any other country.
