Hello all,
My GR1225 repeater I use for GMRS wont put out any transmit power all of a sudden. It had been working flawlessly for around 3 months. I have it set on 25 watts, running Andrew LDF4-50A hardline to a 6db omni on a 40 foot mast. i was about a mile away (I usually have a good 7-10 mile range) and tried to key up on the repeater and I couldn't hit it.
I went to the repeater location and keyed up on my handheld and i did hit the repeater but it was very faint (almost like i was keying up on a repeater that was just barely in range) it also sounded like I was talking down a tube at times from the audio i was barely able to hear from another handheld i had with me. I went inside to the actual repeater it self and stood right beside the unit and keyed up again and it sounded just fine, like it would on a normal day. i walked out of the room and stood about 20 feet from the actual repeater it self and it was very faint and again.
I checked all the connections, they were fine. i shut off the repeater and turned it back on and still have the same result. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
