Hi Martin,
I'm very concerned that the shielding and build quality on Rad
Shack or music store cables might not be adequate. Also, remember that
TT wires their 4-pin adapter with the PTT return to the connector case,
not to pin 2, so I'm really leaning to building my own cable from Heil
wire and XLR and TT 4-pin connectors.
73, Duane
