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

the newer radios don't do that anymore.
my alinco does not do that, however i have a friend with an older alinco
that does keep the mic hot.
i don't belive the yaesu's keep the mic hot either.

The Yaesu FT-8500's mic is enabled while crossband repeating. It can be
unplugged, but that causes the repeat audio gain to increase beyond 1:1.
It appears as if the crossband repeat audio is internally connected to
the mic input.
Ok, so Yaesu
I was just thinking about using my old DR-570 for a cross band repeater
project. (it's the one with the repeat switch on the top). At www.mods.dk
there is a mod for expander rf and cross band repeater mod that says:
6. Remove the two pin connector to disable audio bleed in repeater mode.

Actually most mobile repeaters are simplex so you can TX and RX on the
same frequency and use your portable with the power of the mobile the
mobile repeater is connected to. All you
Nick,
Many states/regions have an SNP, or test pair, or nonprotected pair of
UHF frequencies for conceptual studies, experimenting, etc. If your area has
such a pair then that would be a natural for your mobile repeater.
That being said, please pay attention to the advice already given
Well put Coy,

Mobile repeaters are for the most part, completely useless. Most
coordinators want to know exactly where you are going to put your
repeater before they will Coordinate a Freequency
If you jump up to the 902 band, there is an established Itinerant Repeater
Pair in SERA Land and some other states which are patterned after SERA's
Bandplan...
In many of those areas 927.4875/902.4875 is available for Mobile or

Oh man, those radios brought up nightmare memories!!! Only one I can think

So whats wrong with a 557? I think I have worked on more of those than any

I use EchoStation as a repeater, Fast setup for Emergency use or
just in case you need a Repeater or backup.
I started using it while my Repeater was under repairs, liked its
range and audio better so I use it full time now. My Repeater is the
backup for Echostation now.
How ever I do have it

You might want to look here for information on a Maxtrac. Radius,

I went and checked for MVP's in closed eBay auctions and found none at all.
I check periodically and find them selling for $75-$150 for the UHF ones.
VHF high and VHF low are usually much cheaper. Plus shipping, which
typically runs another $15-$20
