The easiest approach might be for the far repeater to receive the near repeater then retransmit the message.
Set the retransmit delay on each repeater different so that they will not all be transmitting at the same time.
To get true simulcast the repeater transmit oscillators have to be phase synchronized IIRC.
if the problem is that the field units cannot get back to the repeater, but, can hear it, you might want to try satellite receivers.
I have never done this so this is just theory.

Hey guys,
OK, so here we go. I've been given a challenge, to help an fd get
better coverage. We've gotta take this 1 step at a time. So right
now they are on vhf.
They have a single site repeater. We're thinking simulcast right now.
The repeater is a quantar. So, keeping the current repeater in its
current home, let's ay we add 1 more to the mix, doing a simulcast,
what would we need?
This is my 1st simulcast adventure, and i actually wanna learn more
about it to help them out.
Thanks,
Jed
