[Repeater-Builder] Repeater Question

[JHCCRadio]

A question to the group hope we can find the answer....  OK I have a GMRS Repeater located on a large tower over looking the NY/NJ Metro area. Currently I have been using a Motorola Desktrac Repeater (which is basically 2 Maxtrac mobiles with a basic repeater controller, and it is not continuous duty) 10 dB gain Superstation Master antenna on top of the tower, with 1 1/2 hard-line. The repeater has been putting out 25 watts.  I cover a great deal of area with this repeater, with little dead spots.  I purchased an ICOM  FR-4000 repeater last week, hoping to have a more continuous duty repeater, DTMF Controls and some other features.  After I removed the Desktrac, and put the ICOM in place I lost total coverage, a portable could not get in from 2 miles away, when I was getting portable coverage from 30-40 miles away. So I placed the Motorola Desktrac back and no problem.       So far I have no idea why I have lost the coverage, I know there is a 800 MHz EDACS System putting out 25 watts on the tower and a VHF System. Both have not interfered with the Desktrac. What could this be? what possible cures could fix this problem?   Thanks in advance  Joe   WPYU470 Yahoo!
