It has been awhile since I messed with mine but I think I that when you read
the radio it displays freq and pl that is programmed. Check to see if it shows
a pl code because if it shows a DPL you can not put in a PL. The R100 is either
PL or DPL. Or maybe yours is carrier only?

Radio Shack did sell a simplex repeater controller at one time. They
are on e-bay much of the time. However, this is only a controller, not
a repeater.
I don't think RS sold a radio wired to this controller as a package.
The use of the controller was up to the buyer...mostly for Ham use,
store and forward repeater(s) are forbidden on GMRS.
I didn’t notice anything in the rules that says this, can you point me to the
reference for this forbidden use?

The way the FCC often looks at things if it don't say you can do it you
cannot. Of course this is not always the case. It don't say in Part 97
one does not have to know the code to get a license. It does state what
is required, but what is NOT required.
However, in commercial serices
I would think a simplex repeater in GMRS might be more under a remoted
base station license if allowed at all. In GMRS base stations and
repeaters have totally different set of rules. Repeaters have few
restrictions other than power, actual output power. Base stations have

Even though FRS and GMRS share the same freq segment, they are treated
differently. I don't think one can have a base station on FRS even if
using low power. FRS rules would not apply to GMRS and vise/versa. If
it says FRS only the reg would not apply to GMRS just as you said.

Best thing you can do is call the local NWS office and request they
