I'm quite capable of making cables but it's my least favorite DIY thing
to do so I buy them pre-made whenever possible.

Perhaps I missed it, but I did not see a single recommendation for a
ham-built cable. Do hams no longer make cables? It seems a simple
task. I have made many cables for other hams - locally and on the
Internet - mostly for disabled hams who cannot solder for themselves.
Shoot, I even taught an old blind ham to make his own cables using
crimp connectors (he asked, but I lack the confidence to teach him how
to solder . . . )
I am NOT being snarky or dissing anyone suggesting a commercial outfit
- merely wondering where all the DIY hams are, and why nobody
suggested he contact his local club or repeater crowd for a leg up
from a local guy. Shoot, maybe he can send me the parts and return
postage and I can make it for him. BTW, I work for bourbon . . . :-)
It is a plug-n-play world I guess. K8JHR
