Update... the entire harness looks pristine. No sign of any problem. That "goo" they put inside the plastic clam shells around the factory Y splices is rather interesting stuff!
I hope I find one or more noisy dipoles when I test 'em... otherwise I'll be left with a mystery and have no idea what was wrong. Meanwhile the repeater continues to be 100% perfectly free of noise on the single dipole from this array. It was never this good with the whole SD2352 up there... not even on day one.
