Gentlemen, Most guys think that using the RF cable is good for eliminating RF feedback into the input audio system. True, but a better way if your using high impedance line (low capacity type) is to add a second braid on the outside of the audio cable for RF reduction. The low dielectric constant of the inner insulation will prevent the high freqs in the audio from being attenuated when the additional shield is added. I have added a braid over thick balanced 600 ohm line with no problems out to ten feet or so. In any case, keep the mike cable as short as possible so the mic doesn't get "hot" on 10 meters (1/4 wave antenna is 8 feet or so). I now use 5 feet on the balanced mic cable (with the shield added) to be clean on TEN AM with the 4X1. NO RF in audio. George AB2KC
