[TenTec] cabling question re TT 253 tuner

[n4py at arrl.net]

The QSK loops are just signal cables and do not carry RF.  The simple radio 
shack shielded audio cables with RCA phono connectors on each end work fine. 
I have been using them for years.  I assume you are talking about the cables 
that go to TXEN and TXOUT.
