Could be a couple of things going here but your description of your
tuning procedure has me concerned. Even at 10 watts power, it is
quite possible to damage cavities due to the voltages produced.
We are a Telewave Dealer and can help you with getting things going.
Feel free to give us a call.

Hello all, I recently came into the chance to acquire a 2Meter
repeater coordination and jumped at the chance. I have used some new
and old equipment for the job. Where my problem starts is with the
duplexes. When field tuned I have no receive signal when the
transmitter kicks in. We tested the cans, upon doing so I notice a
problem on the receive side. Tuning them I would put 10watts in and
get 10watts out on the receive frequency. Then I switch the radio
over to the transmit frequency and I have 10 out of 10 going through
when tuned for the receive frequency. I am at a total lost as to what
I need to do to solve this problem. It seems that the cans are not
cutting out the frequency as they are designed. More info on the
cans: Telewave 2 Meter, 4 Cavity, TPRD 1554.
Thanks
