I've got a few old ethernet cables laying around, I figured push come to shove I'd do exactly that Chris, chop one up and splice it, that way I wouldn't have to dick around trying to crimp one of those little bastards with wire not suited for the task.....

However, knowing that OPC-589 is the Icom part, I might just grab one.
I'm watching a Heil ICm Mic on eBay, if the clowns don't drive the price up over the roof, I'll take a late entry stab at it, if I get it I'll use the OPC-589 addapter. If I end up with one of those Shure mic's, then I'll do the ethernet cable splice......

Thanks again Chris.....

[QUOTE="WX2MIG, post: 137651, member: 8397"] I've got a few old ethernet cables laying around, I figured push come to shove I'd do exactly that Chris, chop one up and splice it, that way I wouldn't have to dick around trying to crimp one of those little bastards with wire not suited for the task..... However, knowing that [B]OPC-589[/B] is the Icom part, I might just grab one. I'm watching a Heil ICm Mic on eBay, if the clowns don't drive the price up over the roof, I'll take a late entry stab at it, if I get it I'll use the OPC-589 addapter.
