[Elecraft] cables for digital/dayton

[Bob]

Thanks Tom,

"On my simply interface I just did not connect the two PTT lines and use
the USB to KX3 cable to control the KX3 via CAT."  That sounds like good
advice and therefore I will leave it disconnected as well, as I certainly
will be using the CAT cable at the same time anyway.

Yeah, the right-angle connectors I purchased from Mouser have plastic
covers that snap in place, that the moment a wire is installed through the
cover, it cover unsnaps.  That is the biggest advantage to buying a
pre-made cable -- they are insert molded and strain-reliefed.


I know that Elecraft has their hands full, but providing right-angle
adapter cables, and perhaps prewired molded connectors with short
unterminated cables for the Mic might be a reasonable thing to offer as an
optional purchased "Connector Kit".  As you said, none of the TRRS cables I
have found have the shield tied to the shell, and the quality of the
"blank" connectors is dubious at best.

Thanks for the good suggestion.
