Where can I buy a 10' mic cable?
I noticed that the cables online are wired a little different than you need for a flex 6400m. The one that came with the radio isnt long enough to tie off on my mic boom where my Heil PR30b lives. I didnt see one here at flex. Im not very good at soldering so I would rather buy one pre-made. Any recommendations?
Thanks

This is one I looked at. Is this right or would it not work correctly?

If you already have a short working mic cable with XLR to 3.5 mm trs plug, you might want to look at audio extension cable that has a 3.5 mm jack to 3.5 mm plug. They come in many lengths from 5 to 25 feet. Here is an Amazon link to a 10 footer:
I use these cables to extend my PRO 7 headset to the radio which is mounted in a rack about 10 feet from the operating table. Also use them to extend the head phones on my 6500.

You want to make sure you Mic cable is not harmonically related to any frequency you are using and hopefully, it has adequate shielding.
I would suggest that your add RF Chokes (Mix 31 or Mix 43) to the cable to reduce the possibility of any RFI issues.
