I purchased my P3 second-hand. I have always wondered why the IF Out to
IF In cable was so blasted short. I mean, it's only about 12.5" long.
With that length, my P3 sits on the left of my K3. That would be the
handle side of the K3. I never could understand why that was. Well, I
think I have figured it out - it's not the correct cable... Okay,
that's fine.
I have some spare cables lying around and thought I'd give them a
whirl. Well, they're not 50ohm cables. One is labeled "Tensolite Style
1354." That is a 93ohm cable (I have no idea where I picked that up).
The other is RG59. I know that is 75ohm cable. It came out of an old
analog m/w shot from the RF shelf to the BB shelf. In my thinking
(which is wrong a lot of times), either should be okay. I just want my
P3 on the right of the K3 to satisfy my OCDness...
I know I'm asking for it, but what do y'all think?
73,
