do you have access to both sides of the mw circuit? i'm curious why they have a 4w/4w repeater in the loop (should be enough gain from the channel, unless it's a carbon mike input ;-) is it being used as a two way link? or more likely one way (receiver at one location to transmitter at another location.
you should be able to use an "out-of-band" controller too (it uses 3500 Hz "mark busy" instead of the 2600 Hz "in-band") look for "remote base" controllers/ interfaces. hams invented this stuff, they can make a simple 2600 Hz "decoder" using 88 mH loading coils, a 4046 pll or a 567 pll to detect the tone. also the original wescom stuff was built like the proverbial brick outhouse and should be repairable.
