One of these:

http://www.arrowantennas.com/ click on repeater controller.

Plus 2 Astro radios of whatever flavor make a cheap P25 repeater?

I know the audio will be a bit off, but what other problems might come about?

Perhaps the repeater is in California, on 440, near Pave Paws?

Ahhh. Didn't see that on the original link. All I saw was the antennas Arrow is known for making, in fact I'm thinking of geting one of those antennas myself for my VX-6R.

Thet would probably work, not sure how well though.

A bit off? It will sound like total ass. Converted P25 fed back into an analog transmitter sounds bad enough, even when done through a console patch or interop device.

You're much better off building the transparent P25 repeater.
