[MRCA] art13 dynamotor cable

[B. Smith]

RG-58 choices-  try and use RG-58 with "solid" dielectric (solid 
polythene), the foam is junk and once it is bent or kinked or distorted 
the insulation properties deteriorate. Once all is cabled up take the 
time to then install a separate chassis to chassis ground (separate wire 
outside the cable) and then ground to the station "AC" ground system. It 
is often hard to find a decent place on the ART-13 to install a chassis 
ground wire due to corrosion/paint  on the panels etc.
