Ummm.....well if it's that close you could try transmitting into it on the proper frequency with the proper offset and proper CTCSS tone if required and see if you can hear a carrier from it when you unkey.A handheld on low power would probably work since it's that close.

Mmmm

Tried keying up, no response (no voice) ... Can't use yet, because studying for my Tech exam, no call sign yet, but an avid listener - Anyone in Pontiac Michigan area can help ?

I just looked up those repeaters. They are both D-STAR repeaters which means digital voice operation. Forget about them for normal analog voice.
