Need Shorter KX-3 to KXPA-100 Cables

[Bill k6acj]

When using the KXPA-100 with the KX-3 my portable station is a mess of Elecraft cables prone to RFI, is there a source for shorter cables?  I find 12-24 inches is plenty for interconnecting cables for portable and many mobile sets.   Thanks ... Bill K6ACJ

I make my own cables...  Not sure about what cables you need for a KX-3,
but I haven't found a cable I couldn't make...

The stock cables SHOULD work fine, but you need to have a chassis bond
between EACH pair of equipment pieces that are joined by an unbalanced
cable whether the cable is shielded or not...

Shorter is generally better. Bigger conductors are generally better...
twisted pair conductors (if paired correctly) is almost ALWAYS better...

Of course, custom made cables at the exact length required always makes
things look nicer... :-)
