: You are correct. The only case that wire feeders in the shack are when the antena
: presents a high impeadence load and the the feeders are an half wave or a
: multiple half wave length long. This can be corrected by inserting a
: quarter wave length in the feeders or doing some stub matching some
: where along the line.
Actually, even that would not cause "RF in the shack" unless either the
antenna system or matching network is unbalanced. Feedline radiation
and "hot" station grounds are caused by unbalanced currents on the
feedline. So long as everything is balanced, you shouldn't see a
problem.

1.Place the radio in remote control.
2.Place the microphone,face down,over the speaker.
3.Make sure the volume is not all the way down on the band/bands you wish
to "control" on.
4.Place another radio on one of the freqs the 742 is monitoring.
5.Send dtmf just like you were using the 742's mic.
I know its kinda silly,but believe it or not thats how its done.
p.s. the 742's volume doesn't have to be up very loud.

Dave:
Which battery charger did you get a WalMart? The one I bought (a while back
for charging automotive batteries) was the Schumacker 6/2AMP Dual Rate
manual charger. I was at WalMart last weekend to pick up some antifreeze
and noticed they have a 1.5AMP automatic charger for motorcycle and other
smaller batteries. Is this the one you got? I noticed this one was rather
small with no indicators whatever that I could find.
