You can pick up RX audio that is not affected by the volume control on pin 11 of the accessory connector. This is line level or there about and could be feed into a PA amp for the station or your remote adapter.

Is it really a R1225 or just a couple of Radius radios in the box.
When the R1225 is set for external so called controller it may not send repeat audio due to programming. So: step 1 read the radio and check the accessory potions settings.
