DB-420 at 325 ft and feedline were in place, we just moved in and hooked up.

  It actually hears pretty good, 40+ miles on average for a decent mobile. It's 
real problem is it hears beter than it talks (not really a problem I guess), 
that 75 watt micor PA going through the duplexer and feedline turns into a slow 
trickle by the time it reaches the antenna.
   
  Again- beggars can't be choosers!

<---Let's see.. Andrews 7/8 air dialetric is spec'd at .845 dB loss 
/100 feet at 450 mHz. That's over 3 dB loss and over 3 dB of noise 
figure added to the system for a 400 foot run.

Well, we all do what we gotta do
