I prefer to use the 8 pin modular cable.? That allows me to go to a site and make programming changes from the front panel of the repeater and not have to go in the back and possibly remove a db-25 that connects to something else like a controller.? The less time I spend in the back of the rack, the less time I have to accidentally disconnect something else.

That would work too but the only time that connection is absolutely necessary is when uploading firmware to the repeater (same as the TKRs). Otherwise, the DB25 on the back panel is fine (straight through, non null modem connection)
