    I was just sitting here in my hamshack listening and looking. I noticed 
the microphone connector on my Icom transceiver and AEA 2 meter Cb . The 
rear of the microphone connector has a two section/ two bolt strain relief. 
Seems like if one cut off the main body of the connector and ground the 
rough edges, one could come up with a neat gear clamp and be able to install 
it without a major dismantle of the clockwork. It looks like the right size 
just eyeballing it. I have had the misfortune of breaking a gear clamp deep 
in the gears. I had to salvage a clamp from a parts deck and it wasn't easy.
