I find it so odd that neither Deborah or anyone else at the Wireman ever
mentioned this to me, ESPECIALLY when they know that they have not been able to
fill my request for CQ304.

Elliott,
Yes, that Wireman #306 cable is what I used for my Orion 2800 in 2013. Has
been solid so far, turning a SteppIR DB42.

Elliot,
Check thewireman.com They have cable specifically for the Orion 2800. It's
part # 306.
Dxengineering carries part DXE-CW1812OR for the 2800. That cable has an extra
ground wire.
