[Elecraft] FW: [OT] Headphone Splitter - Not The Kind You May Be Thinking

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Oops! Quite right. Thank you Dwight! 

RG-74 is big stuff. RG-174 is the small stuff (like the TMP coaxial cables
used in the K3/K3S). 

As others pointed out RG-174 has only one internal conductor. You need to
tie two lengths together for a three-conductor cable, but for a short
pigtail such as a Y-adapter that shouldn't be a problem.

Another source is telephone cable used to connect junction boxes to the
telephone service entry point. It's a little bigger but has four wires
inside which should be FB for phones or speaker wiring even though it has no
shield. Even in this day of wireless phones, you can usually find telephone
cable in bulk at most home-improvement stores. The stuff I have is 3/8" in
diameter.

Are you sure you didn't mean RG-174 Ron?
