I have to ask - Did you follow the coil preset chart in the guide on repeater-builder? http://www.repeater-builder.com/msr2000/pdfs/msr2000-uhf-tx-align.pdf Are you sure the channel element is putting out a clean signal? Is the multiplier chain putting out an appropriate level on the test set?

I copied the manual for the SCR-77 repeater years ago and posted it at another group. Some of the boards may be similar or the same: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater/files/SCR77%20Repeater/ The manual is in GIF and JPG format, not very good, but usable. Someday I'll scan it to a PDF.
