I think most repeater coordinators don't ask what equipment one is running or
going to use. This is how it is in Florida anyway. Besides most coordinators
don't know much about the equipment being used.
I think they just follow their coordinating policy (distant to co-channel
repeater, height of requested coord, power out, etc). If an interference
problem occurs they might be asked to get involved.
There are repeaters packages on e-bay made up of 2 Ham transceivers, but
probably go to some that are not familiar with what equipment, spec wise, is
desired, hi.
