Rich,
Eric speaks the truth. The will HANDLE 200 watts without arcing, etc, but
do not provide nearly enough isolation at 600 KHz spacing to handle 100
watts. For a 35 watt transmitter, I run cans that provide around 96 dB of
isolation. the 85 dB your cans can provide just ain't gonna cut
WACOM specs their 6 cavity pass-reject cans at 2.2dB insertion loss. 2.0 dB
down from 100 watts is 63 watts, so you're doing good.
Remember, 3dB is going to take your power down 50%.

I had one fellow who always insisted something was wrong with the repeater

This is a continuation of the repeater interference issue we started to have
last October. Maybe with a few new pieces of data, it'll spur some new
thoughts.
Background:
Last October, our repeater (146.850 MHz) started experiencing pager
interference. The interference can be clearly heard on
before. The paging may be mixing at the preamp.
Just a thought.
