Hi Laryn, no I did not get a chance to answer your questions, but here goes. The interference is holding the squelch open on the repeater receiver sometimes, which by extension holds the transmitter on, or cycles it, based on the interference into the receiver. The interference audio is not clean, it is distorted, the interference is not always there when you key up. Like I mentioned before, turning the FM transmitter off cures the problem. Hope that helps, and many thanks for your help.

Is the interference audio relatively clean/undistorted, or loud, raspy, distorted? Is the interference always there, or quite intermittent? Laryn K8TVZ
