Tony, I have several MTR2000 repeaters in service, none of which have or need an external controller. My first suggestion is to disconnect your Zetron controller and see if the MTR2000 works well without it. When problems like this occur, it is often caused by squelch settings within the MTR2000 competing with the external controller. When an external controller is handling the repeater function, the MTR2000 should have the squelch set wide open, and be operated in base station mode.

For months now they've been experiencing audio level drops on weak signals into the repeater. There is no level change if the signal is DFQ. The local Moto authorized shop has thus far been unable to resolve the problem. Any ideas as to what the cause could be?
