Thanks to those who sent me a link to the drawing. In response to several queries I received, I agree that there *should not be* any currents flowing on the outsides of the coax cables. As far as I know, that doesn't mean that there *are* no currents on the outsides of the cables. I think that putting ferrites on the some of the cables is a good way to see if there are currents or not. Now that I have a possible source for the connectors, I may make up my own cables and give them a try. That's one of the reasons I love having a radio I built - or, in this case, assembled - myself. It's a great learning vehicle.
In response to other queries as to what might go wrong, I can't imagine why putting ferrites on the outside of the coax would affect the signals traveling on the inside of the coax. If someone can illuminate me, I'm all ears.
