How about a GE master II? There are GE guys on the list here who will probably be able to help you solve your problem. While I am a Motorola guy myself, the GE has a reputation for being a world class performer. Unless your dead set on having something "new", I would look into fixing the problem.
What happens with the TX straight into a dummy load? What kind of coax is used on the interconnects? Is the antenna system ok? SWR good?No water in the lines or connectors?

We are using a GE Mastr II into a 6 can duplexer and up via 1/2 hardline to a G7-144. However, we can not raise the power above 10 watts before de-sense sets in. Also the radio will climb in power level as it gets hot. I set it at 5 watts out and by the end of a half hour net it is up to 12 watts out. In my opinion this is not right. What radio would be good for a 2 meter repeater. Thanks and 73 John, W3ML ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
