Just received my Digirig and cables for the KX2. After I ordered I saw this video [Reducing cable bulk for the highly effective Ham Radio DigiRig -part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0olYwL2DEQ). I have got to do this! Is there any chance I could get a pre-made set of cables without the coiled section? If not I will do my best to cut mine down and solder on connectors 😮‍💨

Phil,  
At this time the coiled cables are the only pre-made option available in store.

Before you start modifying the cables, I would suggest setting thing up with the standard cables. This way if things don’t work later you don’t have to troubleshoot multiple areas.
