Randy:

Thanks, I was pretty sure it was LAN noise - unfortunately I didn't take the
time to test to see by turning the LAN off.

Thanks for the tip on the shielded cable - I'm about to replace my runs up to
the roof with 7/8" and 1/2" hard-line for 70cm and 2m respectively, so I'll make
sure to replace the jumpers on each end with some quality cable.

The sounds you are experiencing sounds are from a LAN. I have a Network
switch/hub in the same location at my satellite station and it emits a
large amount of RF. I even switched to a different switch/hub to hope to
stop the noise, but I didn't have any luck (two brands, two models, same
noise). I realized this was going to be a problem before I built my station
so I went with LMR-600 for all my coax. The extra shielding reduced the
noise I was experiencing with 9913/lmr-400. While I can still hear the
noise, its at a level I can now tolerate. I have several ideas for
eliminating it altogether, however I haven't had the time to implement any
of them.

In my case there was a simple way to test my theory about the switch/hub. I
simply unplugged it and the bands went silent
