Thanks for all the replies, it was a good discussion, 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 short-wave listening (Note 1) and ethernet over power is murder
RFI wise on the HF bands.
Note 1: I currently have 3 receivers, 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 receivers.

hi
be very wary of running cables under carpet as movement under the cable
will rub the insulation off the wires and cause shorts.
Repaired a customers PC where this had happened, the MB and PSU were fried.
