And if you want to make the programming even easier, check this option... once it arrives, I will share my findings with the group... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5828840920

It is the 70-2959-X (X=1 for VHF and 2 for UHF) option. In their Low Band, you could have either VHF or UHF "repeater" unit, which is actually an 8 channel 1 - 2 watt handheld radio and a controller. In VHF Models, the "repeater" unit would be UHF. These are added into the main chassis and are considered a trunk mount or remote mount package with control head. The Deluxe control head can actually be attached to the front of the radio to make an all-in-one configuration. Look for Midland Vehicular Repeater on eBay. The 70-3400B is a 40 watt VHF Highband unit, which will tune down to 2 meters and is computer porgrammable. The 70-520CWB is a 110 Watt lowband unit which will tune to 6 meters. Both rigs use 2 separate antennas; no duplexer required. The programming will allow matching a repeater channel to the input channel. When you go in on a specific frequency, it will go out on the frequency matched to that "channel". Power can be set to high or low; values determined by maximum output. They have very flexible programming options. Make sure there is a local shop to do the programming for you. It can get a bit complex to gather the different soltware and info to match up control head to unit to do it your self. Most of these units come without control head or cables, so it isn't a turn-key solution - just a possibility that may match your needs.
