A repeater isnt just an ht....Its an entireley different system. Usually

I think he wanted to use the LXT300 to communicate through someone
else's repeater, not to make his own repeater.

From a strictly technical standpoint, you probably *could* use *two*
LXT300s to make a repeater. You'd also need a duplexer and some control
circuitry. And I doubt the FCC would license it. I don't know the
power limits for repeaters in the GMRS service - seems to me it's
probably quite a bit higher than one watt, so the two-LXT300s trick
would make a pretty wimpy repeater!
