Alright for all those that think I'm an idiot, it's true.... I am!

I went back up to the repeater site and did some testing.  I did find
that there was some water in the coax.  I blew it out and re-sealed
the connectors.  Now I am back up to 22-25 watts with a 1.1 match on
the 4 antenna's.  So I am still losing 20 watts somewhere???

I tried the vertical full wave antenna I had laying at the site and it
also gives me 25 watts out.  So I am losing almost half through the
duplexers.  This is strange to me, mind you I am losing about 3db in
the duplexers so that is half.
