How do I know I the finals went out in my radio? I can hear transmissions coming in but no. One can hear me. I get the hit back from the repeater but no voice from mine. Any ideas?

Ok will my swr meter do that?

Well it looks like the radio is bad. I could not get the swr meter to tune in. It pegs past 3/1 when the mike was keyed. I changed antennas, line kits and mounting with the same result. I hooked up a different radio and was able to pull the swr in with minor adjustments. When I set the meter to power it pegs it all the way to the right. Sounds bad to me!
I am using a realistic swr/power meter. What would explain why I can tune one radio in but not my yeasu. That is the part I can't figure out. I have a signal band VHF radio that tunes in just fine using the same swr meter.
Whoa, back up! You are hitting the repeater because you hear the courtesy beep and squelch tail. Your SWR meter (whatever it is) is maxing out, so this shows you're putting SOMETHING out to the antenna.
Why do you say no one hears you? Have you made numerous calls with no response or did someone say that you were just not into the repeater with any clarity. Maybe you were just trying to monitor your transmissions with a second receiver? A little more info could possibly clear this up.
