Ok, thanks Tom. I have the twinlead setup now and am having
no problems at all with RFI at the 500 watt level. I had used
this setup many times in the past at 100 watts with good success.
Although it seems some people think that using the ladder line
as opposed to coax will cause a problem, it's always worked
well for me.
