Kevin,
     I read your and WA6ILQ suggestions on crackling problems.  Seems we have 
been through many of them.  My antenna is in a very high RF 45 kW  FM 
broadcast field created by two FM stations only 5 feet away from my antenna. A 
few 
years ago we were able to take the SuperStationMaster down and one of the 
interconnecting joints was ready to break.  A touch of the finger finished the 
job.  
We replaced the section and silver soldered it and all the others.  We also 
installed a support post on top to prevent it from moving. Its hard to test 
anything because access to the high intensity RF field area at the 850 foot 
level 
is not allowed. Have a brand new antenna waiting months to be installed as an 
add on job when some riggers are able to go up the tower. Glad to hear I was 
on the correct troubleshooting path. Complete repeater and duplexer have been 
swapped out. Thanks guys for  your suggestions.
