Thanks for all the replies, it was a good discusion, I'll likely go for one of craigs suggestions, put a runner carpet down the hall with a couple of cat 5 cables under it, then run it around the skirting board to a RJ45 socket. A likely problem with any radio is I live in a concrete block house, with a suspended floor, all walls including internal are such blocks further more the radio path concerned goes right through the bathroom and kitchen, experience showing such construction is NOT radio friendly. I never really considered ethernet over power as I do a of of medium wave and shortwave listening (Note 1) and ethernet over power is murder RFI wise on the HF bands. Note 1: I currently have 3 recievers, A HRO 60 (I had to make 4 coil box's for it),A Racal RA17C12 and Yaesu FRG7, the first 2 being real outstanding recievers. Lindsay
