IF Cables

  There are four of these, labeled A, B, C, and D. Each IF converter normally sends its output signals to A and C, or else to B and D, although switching is available for other possibilities if needed. By convention, the RCP signals are sent to A or B while the LCP signals are sent to C or D. Normally only 2 cables will be in use at a time. Certain dual frequency modes, especially 13 cm and 4 cm, can use all four cables.
