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
ERP and antenna height restrictions.

talking about is a Simplex Repeater.(store and forward) and that
capability is determined by the controller you use between the 2 radios.
The NHRC-2 with the voice chip will give you approx. 20 seconds of
storage and forward in the simplex mode and also can by simple DTMF
command revert back to Full Duplex (Repeater) mode . That is the only
one i'm familiar with. Radios like Micor, Mitrek, Icom,Kenwood etc. or
all useable and legal if the were manufactured for commercial use,not
ham, though the ham versions generally spec out about the same but
haven't been Type Accepted. Some thing programmable and multi freq.
rather than Xtal and single freq. would be the way to go. i am using
the Kenwood Tk-series 805 and later model.
There shouldn't be an issue with the diplexer and same antenna as long
as your power output on both station is low. if you do have some
iterference then notch filters can be used.

============ =
I am thinking about doing a store and forward repeater for GMRS. A
couple of questions.
First and most important is what radio should I look for in the used
market that will be legal to use and easy to setup on GMRS? MASTRII or
MICOR or something like that.
Second I have a dual band antenna on my 2m repeater right now. Can I
use a simple 70cm/2m diplexer to use the same antenna and feed line for
the 2 radios without any major issues? In normal use I know it will
work but will it cause issues with my 2m repeater?
Thanks,
Vern
