Exactly so.  Recall that the "shack" wasn't set up all those years.  Rather, they found
the "transceiver" in the father's old trunk.  All they did was carry it to the desk and
plug it in.  Unrealistic though it might be, it would have been confusing and distracting
to either have them spend a lot of time figuring out which plug went where, or
remembering so much about the rig as to get it right from memory.
