[Elecraft] XG3 serial cable

[Edward R Cole]

topic is now cable ID:

I use colored electrical tape for cable ID.  I know many use a label 
with written ID, but have seen them become undecipherable with age 
(especially sunlight exposure).

So I have been using colored tape.
white=600m
brown = HF
Blue=6m
green=2m
orange=222
red=432
yel-yellow = 900
yellow=1296
brown with band color = Rx
violet with a band color =Tx
as examples

I marked both ends of coax lines (I have 17 of them).
I also use a color code on control cables.
my 2m vertical polarity antennas=white
2m horizontal polarity antennas=blue

I have a station document book with diagrams color-coded for 
reference (there is just too much to keep straight in my mind).

Note: only red fades in sunlight over time
