Thanks Guys, I got some good replies and it cause me to
reconsider the change. I find that the best and most simple change
will be to remove the RG-8X and it's high attenuation and install all
JT-2015 (RG-8 Type) from R&L Electronics.

Sonny, run the numbers at http://www.vk1od.net/tl/tllc.php before you
spend the money.

BTW, it will make NO difference on receive since S/N ratio on 80m is
almost entirely determined by band noise and small change in TL loss will
make no significant difference. Change in TL loss will affect the
strength of your transmitted signals.

Also to put a good 1:1
balun at the feed point.

Good move.
