I've installed many mobiles from CB until now and I've yet to find an 
advantage to pig tails, I have broken one though.

yeh, that pig tail idea just blew me away and was one of the reasons i
didn't even consider the ts480.
I understand why they did it, but the reason for doing it, and the potential
problems that could arise just aren't congruent.
Putting in the pig tails for easier connections in a mobile environment does
not outway the possible problems of a broken wire inside the pigtail coax,
or broken connecters or things getting stretched or tension created on the
short coax...all kinds of things.
