Cleve,

Jim Brown K9YC has posted much good advice on this subject.  Take a look 
at his website information at 
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/HamInterfacing.pdf
and
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf

Pay particular attention to his comments about using twisted pair (CAT5) 
for RS-232 interconnects to minimize RFI - shielded cable may not 'hack' 
it..
