Hi Herb,    
     I just looked at the DXE site and they say their Beverage system has 
isolated grounds. 
I would not tie the grounds together Between Beverages. It looks like you will 
get plenty of isolation 
if you make sure your coax shield does not have an extra ground connection 
added at the antennas. 
Simply connected to the DXE boxes should be fine. I also ran an Eznec pattern 
with two 800 foot 
Beverages 15 feet apart at the hub and about 30 degrees angle. There did not 
seem to be significant 
coupling. If your single Beverages do not use the DXE transformers I would make 
sure the transformer 
output winding for the coax is floated or isolated from ground.
