Thanks, yes, the split is too close to do much! I recently had both sites equipment here to check it out, everything looks good and plays (individualy) here with no problems.
With the transmitter turned off, weak signals can get in and sound great on the UHF link. I just learned that there is a CAR TYPE BATTERY CHARGER across a battery at the receive site. aAARRRGGHH!! I don't know why the noise appears only when the transmitter (miles away) comes up though, but the first order of business is to pull the plug on that thing and see what happens. (maybe it is playing havok with the Maxtac's noise blanker?) Why oh why did they pick 100KHz??? The 10m band is HUGE with no activity (even when the band is open, there should be plenty of room for a better repeater plan). ....
