Sounds like an exciter problem or duplexer/cavity filter tuning drift problem, not an amplifier problem. (Assuming you are using a duplexer in the repeater)
Have you checked the input power to the amp from the exciter device ?? How are you measuring the output power in relation to the antenna ??? Before the duplexer or on the output of the duplexer. Amplifiers always heat up when used so cold WX should not make it reduce in power since the unit should be "self-warming" after a few minutes of "on-time".

We have one that has been running for 6 years and it seems when temp. drops below 50 degrees F, seems the output power is lowered quite a bit. Before we dig into the amp , I thought maybe someone on the list might have had the same problem and found a solution. Thanks Jimmy Floyd NQ4U Yahoo!
