Sure sounds like a case of the squelch being way too tight. Motorola tends to want 20dB quieting signals before opening the repeater squelch. That's great for commercial customers who only want clear communications, but for hams, it's a disaster.
I'd suggest a site visit with some test equipment and a screwdriver. Verify the basic receiver sensitivity and adjust the squelch to threshold.
