Ok I have received lots of information and ideas and plan to check or apply them as I get time. As for the location of the repeater it is located at my house on a 45 ft tower. It is not located at a commercial site so I dont have those problems. The phasing harness on the AFM-44 is NEW. I happend on a fellow a few years ago that had 3 brand new ones and when i put this antenna back up at its location now it went up with a new harenss. I also have a COMMERCIAL grade Maxrad UHF antenna on the tower that I am going to switch to and see if the noise goes away. And yes i understand that 1/2 hardlind can be had pretty cheap, especially in short runs. But I need 4 connectors and those are not cheap!Plus I dont fancy a climb up a HDBX tower to change feedline that runs up the tower and up a 18ft mast. And I am dont have a money tree in the back yard! A pool yes but not a money tree. And as far as movement of the feedline there is NONE and I mean none. The feedline is strapped to the tower/mast at abt every 6-8 inches all the way to the grounding board. The only movement would be the very slight movment of the tower in a wind and the noise is NOT wind related. >From the grounding board the feedline is bundled with 7 other coax runs the come in the the shack abt 12 feet away. Once again there is NO movment of this feedline due to the way I have it bundled/anchored. Oh and when I say I moved the repeater I mean I not only moved it in frequency but I moved it 1500 miles from Missouri to Arizona! I plan to run thru all the ideas/information that everyone has posted. we will see what happens and I will post if I find a problem or not. Also I plan to change the internal jumper that runs from the receiver input to the RCA jack inside the case. Anyone have a couple of these OEM cables that are abt 16 inches long? I am having a heck of a time finding a GOOD right angle RCA plug like GE used.
Thanks to all for the help!!! Dan/NØFPE
