Is it a real Motorola shop or an MSS? Look for a name other then Motorola. I have first hand experience that while if it is TRUE Motorola, it will most likely be right, MSS's are not infallible. Most are really good, but there are some that just, well, aren't. That said, check for desense with a dummy load. If you have no desense that way, you have an antenna/feedline problem.
