Gareth, Your statement about the receive sensitivity caught my eye. I have to wonder: Was the front end of your repeater's receiver ever aligned for optimum sensitivity on your RX channel? Of the several TKR-750 repeaters I have worked on over the years, only one of them was properly adjusted

The TKR-750 comes factory tuned for wideband base station operation. The TKR-750 does NOT like anything but a good 50ohm load. The transmitter will go spurious. I
