There is one legal problem with using a dual-band rig as
a crossband repeater. Both the 2-meter and 70-cm sides
are ham transmitters, and must be ID'd every 10 minutes
and at the end of every series of transmissions, just
like every other station and repeater. See this article:

There's another problem as well in some countries, it's not permitted at
all in the UK (and the rest of Region 1 AFAIK) :-(
