Yes.
106 = 10uF (Usually Tantalums come in this size)
105 = 1uF
104 = 0.1uF
103 = 0.01uF
102 = 0.001uF (A.K.A. 1000pF)

Does anyone have a WP-641 that they could take the measurements from?

Don't know what is used in the 641 but the interconnect length for the
WP-642 set up for N connectors is 12 3/8 inches for the 2 meter band.
I don't think Wacom used RG-223U. Their UHF duplexers were supplied with
RG-142 and the VHF cans used a cable which was labeled: Modified RG-214
