I will put all the shields back on the repeater today and see if that helps. I did not realize this would cause such a ruckess with them off. I don't have any manuals on the repeater, so I am working blindfolded here on this one. Thanks.

Mathew,
Your advice is correct; if the exciter is not keyed 100% of the time,
there will be a delay on key-up.
But, the fact that you can hear the exciter's signal outside of the shack
indicates that perhaps:
1. The Unified Chassis does not have all of the filtering components
required for a repeater station, or
2. The shield plate for the exciter has not been snapped in place, or
3. The overall shield plate for the exciter shelf has not been installed
WITH ALL SCREWS.
When all shields are properly installed, the unkeyed MICOR station should
not be heard more than a few hundred feet away. When a careless
technician leaves off one of the shields, or omits several of the shield
screws, excessive radiation is likely to occur.
