[Elecraft] P3 SVGA interference -

If I may make a suggestion Paul,
Among the many obvious solutions such as Velcro strapping or nylon ties
around the ribbon cable there's also the option of using a flat cable clip
or mount. An example is shown on this drawing from Panduit for their model
FCC-A clips;
< http://www.panduit.com/groups/MPM-GAWA/documents/PartDrawing/077542.pdf>
Since the ribbon cable is located close to the left side of the P3 housing
an adhesive flat cable clip easily holds the cable securely away from the
TMP coaxial cable on the right side of the cabinet. Another clip could be
used on the right side to hold the TMP cable further away from the ribbon
cable. In a pinch a short length of hook & loop material (Velcro) around the
ribbon cable seems to help also but I think the TMP cable needs to be
supported close to the righthand side of the cabinet with a clip or perhaps
a small adhesive tie mount and nylon tie.

Hi Bob, 
We're taking a look at it now.  A shorter ribbon cable is a possibility, but
maybe there is a simple way to dress the existing cable by folding it and
holding it with some sort of clip.  Just thinking out loud.
