I guess the question now becomes - Is that cable going to be supplied with the KAT500 or do I have to contact Elecraft and have an additional cable placed on the order I put in back in May, during the Dayton Hamvention? Been waiting patiently for that order to be filled so it would be nice to know if I have to order another cable before the KAT500 finally gets here.
