Toss it in the can. Those transmitters are notorious for being dirty anyway (I just heard about yet another one locally that is causing trash all over 2M, probably beyond), then to add a lightning hit on to it...it WILL cause problems!!!! Get a Micor or MastrII and make something out of that. Those radios work better after 20-30 years then the 'made-for-ham' repeaters do brand new. And as Jim said-ALWAYS use GOOD double shielded coax in a full-duplex in-band application like this. Also curious why you have those blank white .jpg's attached to your emails?
