[SixClub] 6 meter repeater PL tones

[Mike Pappas]

If thats the case the output from the transmitter is "talking" to the receiver.  And thats bad and it usually means that something is wrong with the system.  Insufficient isolation through the duplexer would be the first place I would look and from there I would be looking at the output of the transmitter for spurs and weird harmonic problems..

Best regards and '73
