USC 47 part 97 (FCC amateur service) rule 97.119(c) quoted below: " (c) One or more indicators may be included with the call sign. Each indicator must be separated from the call sign by the slant mark (/) or by any suitable word that denotes the slant mark. If an indicator is self-assigned, it must be included before, after, or both before and after, the call sign. No self-assigned indicator may conflict with any other indicator specified by the FCC Rules or with any prefix assigned to another country."
Seems to me that "/R" is allowed, unless the "R" is not an FCC-specified indicator. I couldn't find a list of acceptable indicators in Part 97, which was surprising.

Discreet repeater callsigns have been gone for decades. The repeater's callsign these days is typically the owner, another individual designated by the owner as the licensee, or in some cases a club callsign. Controllers are often programmed to appends "/R" to the end of the callsign, but even that is not required any more. 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: redleg_8 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 03, 2009 6:16 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] 440 Repeater Project I have selected hardware, controller, duplexer, antenna, and location. SERA has provided me with available frequency pairs and a blank application. What I CAN'T locate any information on is how to obtain a legal callsign for a individually owned repeater.
