Rob, OK, I understand. There was an email missing somewhere or I never got the part from him I guess. I had a Standard repeater, never tried to get it on the air, have too good a luck with my junque (aka high class junk) repeaters I build from Mobiles but only for Ham service. I am a Icom dealer and use pretty much their FR series for most of the commercial stuff. Thanks, Paul

I am with you on not using the Alinco's. My point is that there where cheaper, legal ways to do what he wants to do.

Matter of fact it is very illegal to have them on those frequencies. Check out the Type Acceptance number on the radios and look it up in the FCC files, it will tell you what you can do with it, the DR-605 is a Ham radio only, I know I have one. The Standard RP-70 is probably Type Accepted by the FCC for commercial use but may or may not do the bandwidth required for GMRS which I think is 12.5 KHz, I may be wrong on that bandwidth though. Whatever, it is not legal to have Amateur equipment on GMRS, FRS or any other commercial frequencies.

They are only 10 watts but with the right site or an amp they would work fine. I used one for years with no problems - Rob - KS4EC _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of briguy1q2w Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 4:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Using Alinco DR-605 Dual Band Mobiles for Repeater I am wondering if anyone has experience with setting up two of these radios to work as a GMRS Repeater? We are experimenting with the idea of setting one up in our small town. Will I need a simple controller or interface of some type that may be readily available? Any help in the correct direction would be appreciated! Thanks!
