My two bits worth:
You have a "Motrac"
Concidering the age and technology of this radio from the mid 60s early 70s you might want to spend your money and effort on a more modern equiment.

The "compa" was not intended for repeater operation due to coupling within the cabinet.
I have seen these set up as repeaters and worked OK on 600kc channels.
