Changing original MLA30+ antenna cable (mounting a bnc connector on MLA30+ box and using a 15m RG58 cable) I get rid of the injector powering the MLA30+ directly with decoder 5V as @andreas78 does.

Result: signal improvement is huge! More intensity and cleaner signals.
Furthermore tuning gain through MLA30+ pot is more effective.
Great news, thanks for sharing your findings!

So, all in all, is it working reliably? On my track, we only had some minor problems with hybrid transponders. They just get less hits, because they send both protocols. Thus in case they're mounted in a bad way, they might get missed.
