John I had a similar problem with my mobile mic. Where the cable comes out of the mike plug, I put several layers of heat shrink tubing to make a boot of sorts. The inner tubing piece was longest, thenext a bit shorter, and the last shorter yet. This made a supportive but flexible boot on the cable and prevented a lot of trouble. I did not heat treat the shrink tubing, but left it as it came from the box. 73, Bob N6WG
