Thanks Bill for the reply. Just to be clear to everyone, I'm not going to
swap-out the MSF5000 PS since it works great. I was thinking about the MSR if I
consolidated it into to a different cabinet with other equipment.

Haven't seen the Guru's jump in here so thought I'd make a comment.
From what I gathered reading your post it appears you have a UHF RX

John,
I agree with Larry that the problem is that you have transmitter and
receiver too close in frequency and in separation distance. I am not an
expert, but I think you might try using a couple notch filters; i.e.
notch the receive frequency out of the transmitter and notch the
transmitter
I think some kind of filter like you mention is what I need. What I have
done at this time is turned the squelch all the way tight on the link radio
receiver, and we still have a strong signal from a constant source, and it
has no problem breaking the squelch. This way when we unkey, the intermod

The county real estate assessors are charging taxes on all cables and
antennas on commercial towers. This is whether there is any radio
equipment connected or not.

Don't anyone tell New York State Governor Patterson about taxing feedline

My first impression is that they are over-reaching a bit here, perhaps
farther than they can manage. They literally have no idea (or proof) of
whether any item they are observing is indeed a feedline or antenna. How do
they know for sure? yeah, I know, but how do they know for
Sounds like an opportunity. There have to be thousands of abandoned antennas
and feedlines on towers around the US. Till now, there's been no incentive for
companies to let them go until they decayed to the point they fell off on their
own. There are antennas you'd never get access to before.
This should not be surprising. It has been done for years with utilities. Go
out and look at a power pole. For an investor-owned utility, everything on that
pole is taxed - pole, insulators, hardware, crossarms, etc. If it's producing
revenue it's being taxed. They have simply confused cell

Thanks to all who replied!
Short summary then:
- Stations operating under 6.1m rules are designated as FX1 on the license.
- If it isn't listed on the license, it doesn't and, more importantly, must
not exist.
- If it is an intentional emitter, it must be licensed unless operating under

It's a property tax, not a use tax. Same for ham radio.

How much is the site owner asking to cover one cable for a years
