We also found the transmission line was disconnected inside the building where it enters the building. After much discussion, we reassembled the connection. Using a Bird wattmeter at the output of the duplexer, the reflected power was negligible with the output power between 26 and 27 watts. 
Testing around the Eureka area Saturday afternoon found disappointing results. In my opinion, the current performance of the repeater is less than before. More investigation is planned. 
There is a 67.0 sub-audible tone on the output for those that would like to add that feature to your radio. This will help keep your squelch from opening in RF noisy areas.
