I was having a lot of problems with picket fencing and oscillation. I put LMR 240 for my jumpers and mini 8 for my coax from my antenna. I also put a shorter jumper from the radio to the amp and made the coax to the antenna longer. No issues now, steady signal and 1.2 swr's with the box on or off. I can go close to 12 meters and close to 10 meters before there is any significant changes. So if you have any problems with swr's, picket fencing (signal wobble) or trouble getting your carrier right, try changing the coax length before and after the amp. Also don't mess with RG58, it is crap and causes things like stray RF and unwanted interference.
