Funny you should mention that. I just had to replace the mic on my ICOM SSB because of a coiling cord that suddenly went defective. It is less than 5 years old and not exposed to the outside elements at all. The good news is that West Marine actually stocks the mic and it is halfway reasonably priced. Those coily cords are constantly working the wires inside. They also fail constantly on telephone handsets. For a period in the 1960's they were popular for guitar patch cords. Guitarists eventually got tired of having them quit mid-performance. |
