Default I really ned help here.

Verify that you are really dialed into the proper frequency. It is
very easy to select the wrong offset or plus/minus 5khz.

The high swr is likely causing the transmitter to "safety" itself by
reducing power. Verify that this coax is in fact connected and that it
is not shorted somewhere. It sounds a lot like what happens when I
plug the wrong coax into my transmitter!

Coax problems usually happen at the connectors.

I can hear the repeater very well, in fact, it comes in at S9+ all the time.
I noticed that my SWR is around 2.5, I wonder what can cause this.

It could be at the repeater, or it could be at your end.

Can you HEAR the repeater? If so, how well?
