Jon,

get your control cable choked before trying anything else. You can use a
pair of split core ferrite beads. Put them close to the cable's ends to stop
induced RF from getting into the circuits.706MKIIG is sensitive to that.
Better then, get a larger core diameter and make as many turns as you can
fit. Same thing applies when you want to extend the control's head cable.
A better option would be to use a shielded cable, not TP. What happens is
that your cable works as an antenna, feding RF back into the radio which may
cause unpredictable results. In case of the remote control head this simply
shuts the radio down when trying to key it.
But you still should be able to get away with your existing TP cable if you
chop the RF off at both ends.

scanned it too fast). This may/may not change your situation, but
using them is standard procedure.
