Am I the only one here who prefers the DIN connector to a rat's nest  
of RCA plugs?!

I can quickly swap a single DIN connector from my FT-1000MP to my  
spare FT-990 and I am sending diddles again.

For someone who only makes a few dozen QSO in a contest, every QSO  
counts :-).

Back when I had both an Omni VI and an Omni V, I dreaded moving the  
cables (plural, very plural) between them -- I ended up making up two  
external cable bundles of RCA rat's nest-to-DIN connector so I can go  
quickly swap a KAM between the two Ten-Tec rigs.  I had always wanted  
to drill a hole at the back of the Omnis to take a DIN connector so  
the rat's nest can be inside the rig instead of outside the rig.
