Good morning Everyone,
This morning I received an email blast from Denis at DigiRig. He has finally released short cables for the DigiRig and the Yaesu 8xx radios.
Make sure that you select the "Short Cable" option after visiting: https://digirig.net/product/yaesu-ft-8xx-cords-for-digirig-mobile/
Why does this matter? Well, if you are running your Yaesu FT-817/818, FT-857 or FT-897 in a manpack, there has always been too much cable. For example, this is what the longer (original) cables look like on my FT-857D manpack.
If you're a manpack operator, I think you'll likely enjoy these cables.
Note: I have not used the new shorter cables yet, but ordered three of them this morning.
Thank you for the support,
Gaston
