Gary, Hope this hasn't already been covered, can you go to the site, hook the TX out to a dummy load, and listen with a suitable talkie (power saver off, no sleep, etc) while someone in the field makes a few transmissions after the repeater is 'cold'? This might help isolate RX desense, etc. A 100 K Ohm tap on the repeater disc for a test point might be nice - you could listen to someone sending in plain old FM (not dstar) and use the TXE lead on the transmitter to key the station and see if it desenses the receiver right after turning on the transmitter. I have not run into this problem. Just a thought , Steve NU5D
