I'm not sure if I would want to use such a setup for working repeaters. The FM filter is $120, you can buy a Yeasu FT-2800M for that, and many others for just a little more. Even if you wanted the FM filter for 10 meter FM anyway, and the transverter for 144 CW/SSB, it would still be a cumbersome setup for working repeaters.
