I normally wouldn't discourage someone from making, but running a repeater intended for emergencies requires near-constant supervision to make sure there it's not causing a problem (even non-emergency repeater operators tend to listen to them near-constantly for this purpose.)
Does anybody have any ideas on what color it could be? Or what I should name it?

Creating a repeater in general is a sweet idea, I just don't want your burn to turn into manning a radio 24/7 or having a life-or-death 911 call NOT go through ;)Also, repeaters are apparently explicitly prohibited on MURS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Use_Radio_ServiceThat said, here is the basic operation of a repeater:and what seems like a good directory of ways to get started:One overriding concern during operation is being able to reliably detect when an incoming transmission is happening so that you don't key up dead air and prevent others from using the frequency (repeaters generally broadcast on dedicated frequencies to help with this) and also to prevent cross-talk and leakage between the receive and send parts of the repeater... not to mention just in general testing your gear to make sure it's not causing interference on nearby frequencies.

I'd lean towards just an antenna on a tall pole; you need to construct such a thing for your repeater anyway, so might as well just run a wire from the radio to the antenna and be done with it.
