Andy The balanced line does work and does reduce the emissions on a 160 ft run. Used it for 1, 5, 10 MHz. Wellll my only issue is every time we had a lightning storm it seemed to fry the ICs. The line drivers and receivers were analog devices ADSL type technology. Was a bit of a pain to deal with as they were smt devices. Tried various suppression methods. I am sure there was a way. But I went back to coax. I have also considered optics. HP had written a paper on using them circa 1990 approx. for frequency distribution. Regards Paul WB8TSL
