[TowerTalk] In shack cable quick disconnects?

[K0DAN]

At your automotive parts store, pick up a couple packs of trailer hitch 
connectors. These have male/female connector pairs with pigtails; all you 
have to do is splice your connectors to them. You might have to buy two 
4-pin kits, but label or color code them so you can't mix them up, and you 
have some cheap/easy disconnects....perfect for creating a grounding plug, 
and cheater cable for use in the field, etc.
