New to GMRS, and radios in general (want to communicate with family and listen to various communications.) I set up a base station using a Midland MXT400 40w radio and a TYT TH-1380 30amp switching power supply (inverter). Ed Fong DBJ-UHF antenna. Rx works fine, as does Tx on all channels (1-7, 15-22) except when attempting to transmit on a repeater (did request and receive permission from the owner). As soon as I attempt to Tx, it trips the GFCI (on a 15AMP circuit breaker) in my garage. I'm guessing that the inverter is overpowering the circuit breaker. If so, what's the fix? Would greatly appreciate any insight to this issue. Sorry for the novice question. Thank you!
