Randy, it's pretty common these days for a transceiver in a valley to have much
higher useful sensitivity than a receiver at a high repeater site, because your
noise floor may be much lower, and the front end of the repeater's receiver may
require much higher selectivity.
It is also possible that the other repeater is running above its coordinated
power level. I believe that many are. Such an accusation is usually
unproductive.
If you can still hear your own repeater over the distant one when both are
active, that is NOT interference, that's users whining. CTCSS works both ways.
Put it on your repeater's output, have users use decoders on their receivers,
and *-poof-* problem solved.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Maybe a strange question...
If all else is the same, I should be able to bring the repeater up. Or, is
this repeater putting out much more than 55w ERP?
