Has there been any thought about shorter cables for connecting the radio to the Digirig? I for one would buy they if they were made.
I am not using my digirig for my KX2 due to the hassle of the coilie cables.

OK,
Nice, how about other radios like the FT817 / 818?

I also would like SHORTER COMBINED FT-8XX cables offered for sale as well. About 8 -12 inches in length. No COIL, just straight with TOROID. Thanks.

Rus,
Yes, the short/combined KX cable is now available in store:
> **[Elecraft KX cords for Digirig Mobile](https://digirig.net/product/elecraft-kx-cords-for-digirig-mobile/)**

Use “type” selector to switch to the combined variant.
Short/combined cables for Yaesu FT-8xx are coming later.
