Hello. I have a motorola GR1225 UHF Repeater. I recently purchased it as well as some LMR-400 coax and a Omni-Directional antenna. The repeater is running 30 watts on GMRS 462.550/467.550 (114.8pl)
I have had the repeater up for about 2 days now, and it has worked great. Until tonight when I went to transmit on it and when I released the PTT I got static (like someone had an open mic) which I know no one did... and ever so often it would make the "doubling" noise, (like 2 were trying to TX at the same time) which again, I know wasn't the case.
Also, the repeater does the CWID every 15mins and when the repeater ID's it self it works just fine... it has no static. Until I transmit on it then I release the PTT and again I get the "open air sound" from the repeater. Once I shut off the repeater and turn it back on then its fine until I TX on it again.
The antenna is about 50 feet from some powerlines and is elevated about 30 feet off the ground.
The antenna can be moved.
What should I do?
Thanks!
