Really Wilcox? A 20” long thick-ass cable with an 8” bend radius and no 90° plug because you didn’t ask Fischer to make one?

You’re telling me not a single one of your beta testers upgraded from a Raptar and was like “yo, this new Ergocto cable is a dumpster fire?” I call bullshit.
Now to spend like $500 on the 12” cable it should have included instead.
One could do that and Wilcox includes a (equally poorly-designed) picatinny mount holder thingy for the keypad, but it takes up so much top rail space that it would prevent me from using my clip-ons, plus not many people are keeping their hand way out on the front handguard when doing precision shooting.
I almost bought a MARS but I really hate how they made it wind-dumb and that was kind of a dealbreaker for me. The remote does seem way better on the MARS though.
I’m going to just mount my TV remote up there to soothe the “acquisition-beast” inside.
You mean to tell me you didn't already have your TV remote installed on your rifle? I'm so disappointed in you. It's actually just pathetic at this point.
Fuck! FML! Imma gonna buy that $500 long-ass Wilcox cable right now and hang my luser-ass with it! At the 25yd range, no less, so all the pistol shooters can staple big images of scared pretty girls upon my chest and pretend my

Yeah, I have never been a fan of reaching way out. I have tried it without anyone training me the proper way but it just always sort of felt awkward. I like a forward handstop. It gives me a point of reference for a repeatable grip and I have used it as a sort of barricade stop. I like to put my flashlight switch there for easy use.
Holy fuck lmao. Does this work with your model/serial? https://tnvc.com/shop/wilcox-raid-xe-junction-box-legacy-crane-connector/
The military doesn’t want a key piece of tech susceptible to hostile signal jamming or even just the potential unreliability of a non-wired connection. Non-military WMLRFs like the Vortex Impact 4000 have wireless remotes.
Hmmm...I wonder how they control drones and communicate between themselves....
You want something the size of a military radio to be your LRF remote?
main thing that ukraine has taught every military is how much you need to lock down em emissions.
It’s not really powered down when “off” if you didn’t know that.
Of course I knew that. Ha ha excuse me my good sir, I’m doubled booked and need to go to another meeting.
I know on Garand Thumb’s interesting Urkrainian/Russian tactics vid a mercenary (I think a merc) said that phones can totally get you killed on the battlefield. They’ll randomly flash IR like crazy for apparently no reason. So will your car’s interior (alarm system?). See 1:03:30 in the vid below.
I asked Wilcox directly and they said DOD is trying to standardize on certain connectors which is why they use the Fischer Minimax on the MRF, and Fischer doesn’t make a 90° version of it. But that seems kinda Busch league to me, they could probably get Fischer to make a 90° version or put their own 90° cable bend just behind the connector.
