The answer must be d.) doesn't work at all.
As has previously been mentioned the Kenwood TM-D700 which had the
capability of acting as a 437/145 MHz FM repeater ceased functioning - it
does work any more, it couldn't even manage to do short 8 minute school
contacts.
I am not aware than the Ericsson handhelds have any repeater capability so
until the new D700 can be commissioned there is nothing that can act as an
FM repeater.
BTW someone kindly sent me this link to details of the Service Module
antennas, Thanks

Subject: [amsat-bb] wanted: to borrow or buy a Yaesu G-5500 AZ-EL

Friends:
I am working on a summer project with students at Montgomery College,
Rockville. The project is to design and build a device that controls a
pair of inexpensive satellite TV rotors. And the device would emulate a
popular AZ-EL rotor such as a Yaesu G-5500 AZ-EL controller so it can be
used by a satellite tracking program such as SatPC32. Tom, K3IO
suggested this project at the last AMSAT-DC workshop and is guiding us
with this project.
I would like to borrow a Yaesu G-5500 AZ-EL controller and rotor for
about three months or buy a used one so we can study and understand its
command protocol.
I will pick up or pay for shipping. Please contact David, W2LNX
directly at
W2LNX@xxxxx.xxx
Thank you,
David, W2LNX
