I was able to play with my new Stratux a bit more, it looks like the gps cable is still working despite the kink I put in it. I was under the impression that there would be more drastic of a change in the individual satellite signal between the internal and external antenna, but I am able to see an accuracy change on the main status pagewhen I plug it in, which seams to confirm that cable is alright.

The 976 cable is another story. I just ordered a generic replacement, I really hope this works rather than the stock (probably broken) cable.
