I made several control cables for me and my friends using CAT-5 cable,
20m long, all work fine. The shields were connected to the metal parts
of the mini-DIN connectors.

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this group, but not with couplers like the AH-4. I'm
replacing my Icom AH-4 with the FC-40 since I've upgraded to the Yaesu
FT-950. I've looked through the previous posts, but haven't read
anything about what materials to use for the replacement. I already
have CAT-5 cable (eight strands of wire) run to the present antenna,
but it's pretty light gauge. Has anybody used CAt-5 cable for an
extension? I will probably hack the current cable in two pieces and
splice to the cable already there. Any thoughts? Tnx & 73, Jeff/wb0m
