[TowerTalk] Yaesu Rotator connector replacement

[Malcolm Ringel]

Again: Can you not leave "pig-tails" from the existing plugs and simply
splice the wire ends together ? If not, why not ? I will be faced with this
shortly and had been planning to approach it that way. Mistake ?
Thanks
Malcolm, K3KZ
