sp right angle optical and jb3 prob
«

So I went ahead and got the sound pro's right angle toslink optical cable. In order to go from my digimod ua-5 to my jb3 I put a radio shack toslink>mini adapter on one end. while testing my new cable I discovered that I only get a signal when the mini is twisted to just the right spot. Not twisting the swivel that's built into the cable but twisting the whole unit; even then it is very touchy and completely unacceptable for reliable field use. I bust out my old radio shack toslink cable and throw the exact same adapter on that and it works perfectly. I switched back and forth multiple times to get the same results.
Anyone have this happen? I might just email sp's for a replacement.

Yeah, go for the toslink to mini cable from SP. Several of us use those with great results. They are most definitely where it's at!!

I might have to get that, but after hearing all of the stories of tapers breaking off the ends of their mini optical cables in their jb3's I figured I'd go with an adapter so it could be replaced.

With a reasonable amount of care, you should be OK. That cable has right angle connectors on both ends, which helps reduce the chances of breaking it significantly (IMO at least). But I suppose there is still always that possiblity...
