The guys are right on the G-7 but what are you feeding it with? What are your jumpers made with? Coax such as Belden 9913 and Times LMR 400 type coaxes will do the same thing. Your jumpers should be made from things like Belden RG-214/u, Andrews 1/25" super flex or Andrews 1/2" super flex are always good for jumpers. Your feed line should be some sort of Hard line type Coax. Like 1/2", 7/8" or most of our stuff is 1. 5/8" it all works well. Just mite want to look at your feed lines as well. Some times it is not even your omni that is doing the receive scratch. Good luck! Very best of 73, Russ, W3CH Trustee for Metro-Comm, INC W3PS repeater network.
