2 meter question -- local weather interference?

[RFI-EMI-GUY]

The above is from a Kenwood manual but applies to any repeater.

If you construct, install or maintain a repeater you should check the repeater for desense into a dummy load. Then perform this test into the antenna system. If it passes, you have a repeater, if not, you don't.
