First I want to thank everyone for all their suggestions. The 3000 was pack up and ready to head back to Austin at least 6 times the last 2 days. I lost count.
I finally went to Fry's and bought a new firewire cable. It is a 6 foot Belkin double shielded 1394, model F3N400-06-ICE. Here is a link: http://www.belkin.com/images/product/F3N400-06-ICE/FUL1_F3N400-06-ICE.jpg Also I stopped at Radio Shack and bought 4 of their 273-0105 Ferrite snap on filters. I put 2 on each of the FW cable end and hooked it up. All works good everywhere with both my Shyhawk and my Alpha Delta DXCC Plus with the amp at full power. I do have a touch of RF in the MIC on 75 and 40 on the Alpha Delta by I have always has that no ,atter what radio I have used on that antenna. It's not noticable unless I ask someone about. But I stll plan to work on it later. So now that It working everywhere I can enjoy the radio. I just wish the boys at Flex would spend an extra $10-15 dollars and put a better cable with the radio. The one I used is a good choice. It might save them some returns and a lot of trouble for folks like me. But I'll get off that soap box and turn to something else. What microphones do you guys use? I am using a Heil GM-5 Goldline dual element and have never really liked it. Again thanks for all the help. I would have never figured that cable even though several of you told me it fixed your station.
