DirecTV and probably others have available with their receiver packages 
a 3 conductor cable that has a pair of RCA jack types for the audio from 
the receiver to the TV set or wherever you want to run it along with an 
RF cable for taking the video output from the receiver to the TV or 
again wherever.  A lot of them never get put to use and i suppose if you 
asked one of the techs, they might give you a couple sets.  They are 
about 5 feet long i think.  Should be pretty good quality material i 
would think.  What they don't use on installations for whatever reason, 
they throw into a bag or on a shelf in the truck where they either lay 
around till the get smashed or destroyed in some manner or thrown out 
from being in a 'dirty' package.  These might work well for not only 
Drake but Collins gear.
