AT Pro - how to keep wire in place

[diggin4clad]

Yeppers! When the cord is wrapped under the shaft, the wires in it are closer to the coil and can cause interference. So with the cord over the shaft, it is further away from the coil, so there will be less interference.

Good point Garrett, even the instructions always say to wrap the wire OVER the rod rather than under it.

Hi. This isn't so much about how to keep it in place but how tight it should be wrapped around the shaft near the coil.

I wonder if that can cause problems with signal.

Definitely,,,,, read your instruction manual .the cable is to be wrapped over the bottom of the shaft and wrapped around all snug all the way up to the top before you plug it in. loose wire will get snagged.

All these kinds of wire have a natural twist as they come off the spools at their factory inception...Similar to all ropes or a hoses or extension cords, theres a natural 'twist' the wire prefers. So for optimal electronic efficiency, you gotta understand the wires predisposed propensity and not force it to behave in a contrary nature...This takes some study and in field hands on practice to discern proper wire behavior to get
So on all my rigs, I run all my coil wires straight stick and tape them to the shaft at pleasant intervals, thinking if I do, the electrons will race up the wire more quicker than running around in circles in a spiral...I bet I find a few extra pennies per year on account of the speed of a straight shot cable! (I cant believe I've put so
much thought into this, but I have!)

Now surely you know it doesn't matter how you wrap it it wont change the length of the wire therefore the signal is the same.
