Do you just want to build a repeater for the sheer fun, joy of a project? If so, I have a post on my web page about my Mitrek conversion project:
http://jonathan.con.musc.edu/weltonj/Amateur_radio_emergency_communic.ht m Instead of modifying a single unit, I used two Mitreks 1 for RX, the other for TX and set them up so I could swap them, e.g. if the TX final blows. It took me, oh, 50-60 hours altogether just tinkering to get it right. If you're looking to put up a repeater to meet a particular communications goal, and don't have a lot of time for a build, then the Kenwood TKR850 + RC210 controller for a bit under $2,000 is hard to beat.
