Rick; I think you need to isolate whether it is tx through the duplexer or something else bothering the rx and or squelch. It sounds like the tx signal fundamentally is clean from your analysis so far.. in order to isolate through the duplexer, connect the tx directly to a dummy load i

What he is saying indirectly is that your older repeater was meant for such service ... the VXR7000 is pretty much a barn door (wide open, no tunig to go anywheres you want). At the very least, you should consider a better 4 cavity duplexer like a sinclair, I have one at 93 dB rejection each s
