With my experience using the various Maxtrac radios [VHF/UHF and 900 mhz] in repeater and remotebase service, I would suggest you cut the power back on that 40 watt rig to abt 25-30 watts. These radios ARE NOT designed for continuous keyed down transmit mode [repeater service] at their maximum

The most common method of using one receive antenna with multiple receivers is a multicoupler. This device usually has some sort of preselector followed by a preamplifier feeding a two-, four-, or eight-way splitter. The gain of the amplifier is selected to just overcome the losses in the

Brian, Most MaxTrac radios will run okay at 50% power, and some will go lower and still be stable. However, be aware that a radio that is rock-steady when feeding a resistive dummy load may go bonkers when feeding a reactive load such as an antenna or cavity. It's always a good idea to look at
