Not really. Even though it costs about $16, I think that kit is a good value for what you get: Color-coded heavy-duty high-temperature wires (14 AWG) that are long enough to reach the battery- even with a Charge Guard in line- and with an inline fuse and equipped with the proper plug on the radio end. Similar cables I found at RV stores were only 16 AWG and never long enough. I can't see trying to kluge together a cable when one is readily available, especially for what is probably a one-time purchase.
I suppose that some vendor in China will come out with a cheap knock-off of the HKN4137A kit, but I would expect the thick insulation to hide some small conductors.
