[Elecraft] KAT500 + AUX Cable

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Hi Bill,

I hadn't planned to get one (I made my own cables for both KPA and
KAT500), but if I do find myself ordering from Cable Wholesale, I'll
include one of these and try it out. I've had good experience with the
company in the past - including the HD15 splitter that many are now
using on their K3s.

73,
