[Repeater-Builder] GE MLS ham conversion?

[Tom]

I have a UHF GE MLS1 (eeprom one) that I would like to convert to the
ham frequencies.  Has anyone tried this?  Electrically, it looks
fairly straightforward.  Has anyone tried out of band hacks for the
programmer or is that necessary?  Any information would be appreciated.
