[RFI] Inter-station interference question.

[Mike - W5JR]

If any of the “RG214” is in fact a shield over foil braid, replace it with real RG214. As Jim mentions, passive intermod (PIM) usually rears its ugly head after installation of all the cool stuff. You will want to confirm that all of the components, radios, amplifiers, filters, feedlines, towers, guy systems, are *bonded* together to further reduce the possibility of PIM. 

PIM will be the biggest hurdle in making any multi transmitter situation play nice. Often the PIM generator is external to your feedline or antenna. It’s the “killjoy” of many a Field Day setup over here.
