Johnny, I havnt seen anything saying that you cant use 2 radio to make a repeater. I know most radios have about 50 watts output so the power should be turned down a bit to save that radio and help from people in the area complaining. I Do agree you should listen to the area for any other users that use close freqs. I would really check for FRS use with PL tones.I know in my area that 462.550 is not a highly used GMRS freq so I chose that.And the closest freq is 40 miles away and I talked with that owner to make sure we dont have the same PL tones.
