 I agree. The users would not even notice if you cut the power in half. 
One 2 meter repeater we took over was running on the 10 watt exciter 
with the amp bypassed for I don't know how long.  The caretaker before 
we got it bypassed the amp because of desense or intermod or self 
oscillation issues, we used to have some high powered VHF paging 
transmitters close by that were exactly 600 Khz apart and no circulator, 
We are now blessed because they moved to 900.


It was only when were replacing the functioning repeater we discovered 
the amp was bypassed, He never told anyone.

Hi John.
Sometimes you might not want to tel the others what you do to the 
repeater, then they cannot complain about any adjustments that you make.

Thanks to everyone for their comments and answers about my questions.

I did turn it back so I am sure someone will say something. Once
when a ham said he could not hit it, I drove over and sat outside
his house with a 25 watt radio and brought it up with an S8 signal.
It seems when a repeater goes up anywhere, someone will complain
about something to do with it.

Thanks and 73

More likely he had the radio programmed wrong.

 His antenna could be in a null. It happens, as Murphy is a ham.
