I would try to sell them and buy a Micor or Mastr II repeater. But that is
only due to knowing it would be less work and I am basically lazy. :)

There's no way to convert a single one into full-duplex 
operation. But you could use one for the receiver and another for the 
transmitter.

BUT

While they are great radios for their designed purpose, if you're 
going to run the transmitter in repeater duty you need to crank the 
power down (rated 30 watts as a mobile) to no more than 20 watts AND 
get tons of air moving, not only across the PA heatsink but the 
entire TX assembly as well.

Of course, there is the little matter of programming the EEPROMS in 
'em but there are folks who can do it for you. And they will tune 
down into the ham band very easily
