That is the one draw-back that I see is the use of those RJ45 connectors on rigs. Sure, they are cheaper, than the 8 pin mic connectors, but no way as durable. Unfortunately, most of the rigs that I have, from the Mid-1990's, on up, use these. What I do as a strain-relief, is Ty-Rap that mic cable to a bracket, or whatever is close-by the RJ45 connector, to keep any strain away. Actually, I've learned that trick from Radio Shack CB's, with that stupid DIN plug that easily comes loose on them. (GE CB's were notorious for that as well.) BTW, my other gripe, as always, no 222MHz. Uh-huh...
