The microHAM supplied cables have been the same from the very start.
Again, schematics are on the web site. The cables consist of special
multi-cable bundles with six individually shielded coaxial cables and
one shielded four wire cable in a common jacket. The outer jacket is
cut back and the individual cables "fan out" to the appropriate jacks
on the transceiver end. The mic cable is separate and in the case of
the DB37-EL-K3R is two individually shielded coaxial cables.
Again, the cables/interfaces work without RFI if the installation uses
good engineering practice. No active external interface will be 100%
"RFI free" if the user fails to keep the RF voltage well below the
levels of the desired signals (~5 mV for dynamic mic audio).

Joe,
Perhaps that's what you're selling now, and if it is, that's great. But
what I described is what is at W6OAT. As it happens, I rode into San
Francisco tonight with him to meet a visiting JA contester for dinner.
He confirmed that what I wrote was an accurate description of what's in
his station. He's agreed to grab a few photos that I'll be happy to send
you if you would like to refresh your memory.

Please confine your comments to areas where you are knowledgeable. The
microHAM cables *DO* use a separate coaxial cable (or shielded twisted
pair) for each signal path. The shields are connected to the shell of
the respective connector on each end of the cable. With properly
designed transceivers, this design will minimize RFI issues. When good
engineering practice is used in the station installation - including
antenna systems - there should be no RFI problems with a properly
implemented microKEYER II, MK2R+ or micro2R system.
Schematics for every microHAM cable are available from the support
area at www.microham.com or www.microHAM-USA.com/support.html.
