Hello, I've got a Standard RP-70U UHF repeater that is not transmitting at full
capacity.
The thing is supposed to have a max RX power of 15 watts. Yet, I plugged a
power/swr meter and my dummy load, when I checked it was only putting out 7
watts. So I looked in the manual, found the adjustment points and tried to
adjust for maximum power and it won't go over 8 to 8.5 watts of TX power. It
doesn't seem to be having any problems with the duplexer. It just won't go over
8 watts. Could it be a failing TX transistor?. RX is fine and there are no
other problems with the repeater, just the power issue.
Any thoughts?
