Yes you can use 2 transceivers as a repeater.
Biggest problem is keeping the TX signal out of the RX radios front end.
Easiest way is to use external antennas and stack them one above the other with the RX one at the top.
You COULD mount one Gay o Fang above the other on a mast.
And yes, I would say that a lead from the speaker out to the mic in may well work and just use VOX on the TX radio.
Id say that you may need to add a couple of resistors to the speaker out to drop the level as the mic input will probably overload.
You'd need at a guess maybe a 20Db unbalanced "pad".

Bear in mind that the folks at the ACMA might not like your repeater.

Well, I have the cluttered desk, I guess that's a start!
