Yes, I am talking about the ham bands, 70cm and 2m.
I am using a dual band FT-60R as my H/T. I can receive the repeaters
in question about 75% of the time, so I would be looking to operate
full duplex. Also, I don't want to deal with feedback issues. Which
wouldn't be an issue with the 60.
Now, I do have an FT-530 which can x-band repeat, but there is the
problem of low wattage output and no id for the remote equipment.
Otherwise I'd just look for a dual band amp and be done with it.
I understand about the ID requirement for remote transmitters.
I need to know what equipment I need. i.e.controller, duplexer,
whatever... Has anyone built one, that can tell me what I need
besides the 2 radios? Do I just need the controller and wire it to my
radios?
Has anyone ever taken a Pyramid SVR-200 into the ham band? Pyramid
says the VCO will go out of lock if I try to. What about other
brands of mobile repeaters?

receive the signals from your HT must provide an carrier-detect output
that will be used to key the other radio, and you must provide an
audio path between the radios. For 2-way ("full") crossbanding, you
would need carrier-detect outputs from both radios, and audio paths in
both directions.

depending on whether you do 1-way or 2-way crossbanding. This is an
issue that MANY (most?) people doing crossband repeat with dual-band
ham rigs do not understand, and consequently, do not do legally. Is
your HT single-band or dual-band? If dual-band, can you hear the
repeater(s) directly with it? If so, you'd only need 1-way
crossbanding, and that simplifies things a little...
