->> any one here using this set up or are you all using their own brand?
If you are using PW, which is the correct cord needed?

->> Deb,

The cheapest way to go is to go to Radio Shack and get a 1/8" mono to 1/8" Mono!! They run a whopping $4

I have a whole pile of them here if you need one!!

PS: I use the PCB Cyber Synchs myself.

->> Deb, what exactly are you trying to do?

Just fire an AB with a PW?

Yamil is right, standard 1/8th mono to 1/8th mono is all you need.

They're as low as 50 cents each for 2 foot cables and only $1.25 for a 10 foot. It's a good way to stock up and have lots of extras.

->> I purchased so many bunk 1/8th inch mono's from Radio Shack that I resorted to bringing my AB's and PW's into the store and testing each cord before buying any more of them.

If you hit a good vein, buy three times more cords than you think you need. They fail quite reliably.

->> I'm with you Jamie. I have 4-5 sets of RS 1/8 to 1/8 mono that just don't work. I do have a few that do work but it has been hit and miss.
