Injection Cables for Drake Twins
The injection cable in the Drake Twins should be a low capacitance cable.
RG-62 is perfect for this application. The cable that goes to the receiver
input is best made with RG-58 coax. The remaining cables can be
off-the-shelf molded audio cables. Don't make the injection cable longer
than necessary or the excess capacitance can detune the circuits (unless
the cable is in place when doing the alignment).
