I've stumble upon a way to homebrew connectors for command set:
Enlarged Molex pins to fit in rear socket snugly.
Remove Molex pins and solder wires on the pins the length you want the cable
to be
Tape a piece of plastic wrap over the connector on the transmitter or
reciver.
Pierce the plastic wrap with the Molex pins inserting them in the connector.
Take a small plastic picnic drinking cup and evenly cut off the bottom.
Route the wires though the small end of the cup first and tape the cup over
the
connector having the cup centered.
Mix up a small batch of auto body filler and pour it into the cup.
In about 20mins remove the hardened bondo from the cup and you'll have a
dandy connector.
This method is for those of us who don't have racks to mount gear in and
is not designed to replace the original connectors in an all military set up
Have Fun
