You might look back in the archives on the Repeater-Builder there has been extensive discussions about this problem and also on the use of 9913 for duplex operation.  As mentioned by others ... a change to some other type of a 100% shielded feedline will probably do wonders for your receive problem.   Good Luck Larry Thanks for the information.  I was curious about this myself as I did read a few of those prior posts... I was told different from the shop, he mentioned that since my run is only about 85feet, it should be fine.  What is your opinion?  Should I pull it and re-run w/ a hardline, or would this be sufficent for a small run?  If it should be replaced, what size hardline do you suggest and will this really make a noticeable difference in Rx?   I guess I decided to follow his advice since the system that was in place prior to replacing it w/ my own was also run on RG8, I believe Belden 8214 it said.    Thanks again!
