I seriously doubt that they have #306 because I had to wait one month to get
#302 and I have been waiting three months to get #304. Deborah has been kind
enough to follow-up with me repeatedly to tell me that it is very likely that
they will never have the CQ304 again. It is interesting that I mentioned that
I had an Orion 2800 when I spoke with someone there (other than Deborah) and
they never said anything about CQ306, only that they had CQ302 and CQ304 – now
likely gone forever.
For the past 15+ years I have been using CQ304 for a 325’ run for my Orion
2800; the CQ302 had too much of a voltage drop at that distance. I don’t know
the length of your run or whether or not you would need CQ306.

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.
