for what you are describing, it would be more worth your while to invest in a cross banding mobile rig. that way you won't have to worry about getting a controller, and duplexer's, etc. however, there is a fine line between cross banding and a repeater. as long as you use it for short time use,

i should have also added that this is assuming you are a ham and are using ham frequency's. if you are wanting it for commercial use, than you will have to do a similar setupwith commercial equipment. STEVE - KC8RSR [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kc8rsr.tripod.com/ AIM / YAHOO = KC8RSR

Anything from a small low powered repeater in a box to a cross banded dual/multi band radio works pretty well. Small low powered repeaters can be made from small radios (even portables) up to commercial vehicle systems like the Pyramid Radio Equipment. I'm sure there will be lots of answers

What band? For VHF, it would be very difficult, even if only on one channel due to duplexer size. For UHF, the duplexer is doable, however, it would have to be retuned when you change frequencies, so, not practical. 73 Glenn WB4UIV At 10:41 AM 11/16/05, you wrote: I am curious,what would
