Aaron: Sounds to me like an antenna radiation pattern problem. Since both antennas show good VSWR, I think the 4-bay folded dipole is radiating enough energy straight down to the radio. You might try changing the rptr site antenna to the same one you have at home. Or you might try putting lots of shielding around the radio.
Hope this helps.
