Re: [Repeater-Builder] Decibel Products DB-224 Antenna & Noise

You mite also check your jumpers. No LMR-400 or 9913 type coax remember. RG-214/u or RG-142 or 1/25" or 1/2" super flex and so on. Your feed line up to the antenna should also be a Hard-line type of coax. stare RF is a bad thing on any repeater system.
