With my experience using the various Maxtrac radios [VHF/UHF and 900 mhz] in repeater and remotebase service, I would suggest you cut the power back on that 40 watt rig to abt 25-30 watts. These radios ARE NOT designed for continuous keyed down transmit mode [repeater service] at their maximum power output, so be aware of this.
