[NHRC-user] controller acting up?

[KD6KPC]

This pulse back is momentary only. If the repeater was getting back into
itself, wouldn't it be continuous while the repeater was transmitting?

I have access to another NHRC-3 controller that I can borrow and
troubleshoot the source.

I tested the pulse back signal range and found that I must be within 100
yards of the repeater to hear it, so it's very weak. I will check all the
connections to make sure they are tight, but I have no idea what would cause
that and how to fix it.

Most likely it is your repeater getting back into itself.

Put the transmitter into a dummy load and see what happens.
