REFLECTOR: Transponder and Radio issues

[Dave]

Its time to get things checked.. in particular the coax being used...

You should be able to check the SWR of the VHF antennas and make sure 
that signal isnt being reflected.

both the transponders and the coms should be bench checked by a radio 
shop to see how they are doing...
