[Elecraft] k-pod data cable

[Jim Brown]

Another point. Ribbon cable is TERRIBLE for RFI susceptibility. Twisted 
pair is FAR superior IF each signals is on a pair. CAT5/6 is four 
tightly twisted pairs, 100 ohm impedance, each a different twist ratio 
to minimize crosstalk. I don't know anything about how the K-Pod uses 
that cable. For RFI, twisting is more important than shielding.
