Loving your work there Mat & Matt keep it up.

i've Spoken in person with the Tascam rep in the UK and he has been told from higher up the food chain not to sell anymore of the DR10-CL's, as they might not be able to get them due to some legal issue in the US. Also having spoken with some other people in the US (sorry can't say names) they have infomed me that Zaxcom are meant to have sent a letter to Tascam. thats as much as i know.

if you mean Zaxcom asked you not to sell it and you complied, thats a little bit crazy, who ever made that decision should rethink it, we have a load of people in the UK that would buy them and i'm sure you would sell tens of thousands of them in the US as Lectrosonics are one of the more popluar brands over there. For the price they are we would be using them as disposable recorders with things like Go Pro's

you should do this to any cable you can tbh, but Kish at Audio Ltd put me on to these, Neutrik ECM XLR's they are meant to work even better, but there not cheap and they don't a TA3 version.

The 788's throws out different amounts of RF, it all depends on the unit. some are better than othes, but it all comes from the AD's (analogue to digital convertoers), there are several trick to help reduce it but no cure. my guess would be if the Nomad is throwing out any RF it will effect the range of your radios, the only thing i could suggst would be to move your antenna to you shoulders, try and put as much space between mixer and RX. just remember though you loose about 1/4 to 1/2 a DB of gain for every connection you introduce in to the antenna's so that will also effect your range RF's a bitch

I'm with Eric here colour is best, and good idea on the heat shrink tube, thx

Ok had a look around got send far to many samples (thank god for free samples) and finally found something that works pretty well, now just need to sort out the colour coding

we've been using this Belden1804A for quite some time now, its about 0.115 OD (2.9mm for those on this side of the pond), good cable nice and flexible with a good outer insulator.

My first attempt at a TA3, looks better than i thought it would, could do this as a TA5 as well as the cable is starquad. now just need to work out what we going to do with the back section and colour coding if we're going to sell these in the UK
