  Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Desense?





  Just replaced a damaged mast for our VHF repeater. Went with a 4-bay dipole 
as a replacement, along with switching out the old coax with 1/2" hardline. 
Everything else stayed the same, VXR-7000 and internal duplexer. All worked 
well after a final check, until night came along, when it seems to possible to 
a casulty of desense? In base mode, tx and rx are wonderful, but when switched 
to repeater mode as soon as it rx's and attempts to transmit, it cut's itself 
out. About a one second in, out, back in, out, etc. Not sure what happened but 
around mid-day it started working fine again, then last night started acting up 
again. Any thoughts? suggestions? Did recheck all connections from antenna down 
and everything is tight.
