Hello.
Certainly will and that has crossed my mind as it has been
voice by many. The current retainers (those that keep the connector
together)
are bit cumbersome and don't fit my solution. I might resort to a U
shape
wire between where the pins go if it turns out to be problematic.
Currently have the radios in a moveable rack with the cables dangling
and it seems to hold. Time will tell.
On a side note, since I had the tools out I went ahead and did
the same thing to my Jupiter.
tnx for ur note
