RE: Hi, it's me again...

G,

i suggest using the 'dry mute' function (unfortunately you can't program 
the
repeater to boot in this mode), use something like aux sends on a mixer to
feed/return the signal, and look out for ground loops.  i had to do all of
these things to eliminate the repeater noise (or noise from other
equipment).  especially playing with the power connection.  i actually had
to reconnect most of my power to a single furman to eliminate the noise.

Huh, then I can't help you, but I'd search the archives if I were you.
A few others I think got defective units that had some noise problem, so
I'd check into that if I were you.  My unit seems very quiet.  Good luck.
