[Drake] interconnect cables

[ed.brooks@att.net]

When I got my R4B/T4XB there were no cables.  I used 
standard phono cables for audio.  I happened to have 
three sets of Radio Shack gold-tipped video cables, 
allegedly designed for video connections from VCRs.  
I have no idea what the impedance of these cables 
might be  I Decided to try them for the injection 
cables, just to get the rig on the air.  They work 
beautifully, and are soft and easily installed.  
Alignment is maintained, but there is a drop in power 
when switching to RX control.  The drop is slight, and 
is easily compensated by increasing the Gain setting 
slightly.  No difference noted in tracking or VFO 
settings. 

Kinda like, "whatever works."    I left it that way, 
thinking one day I'd get the RG62.  But since it works, 
I probably won't.
