Thanks Don & others - The cable I got with the transmitter has an octal plug on one end to plug directly into the crystal oscillator unit where the crystal oven would plug in. It's maybe 4-5' long at most. Can't recall if Barry had the unit sitting inside the front door or left the door slightly ajar with it outside. The interlocks are all disconnected but I plan to reconnect them once all the bugs and any operational issues are settled. I'm not big on having doors open with HV floating around. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ/4 ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
