One thing you might also want to consider are any calls you make to 911
whilst using a repeater.
I use a repeater supplied by T-Mobile and they made it very clear, and I
had to specifically acknowledge a statement, that using such a repeater
takes away from emergency services being able to find out where you are
if you make a 911 call from your mobile.
Some may refer to this as a feature, depending on how much tin foil you
have laying about, but the users of such device may need to be warned
about emergency calls. They'll need to be able to describe where they
are to the responding sirens.
