[Towertalk] color wire order for CD-45

[Dale L Martin]

Fred,

My experience has been that the rotator cables (2 big, 6 small wires) can be
Black&White or Black&Red (there may be other variations I haven't seen).

Absolute adherence to the color code is out...

Just follow the normal sequence of color code colors

Here's what I have in my shack:

Black		Black
White		Red

Brown		Brown
Red		Orange
Orange	Yellow
Yellow	Green
Green		Blue
Blue		White

73,
