Thank you ColinForbin for the lead on Best-Tronics cables! My impression of the transmitter cable that comes with the G70 is that it's very poorly made. My transmitter slipped off my belt one day which put a substantial pull (weight of the transmitter) on the cable - and the locking end loosened to the point that it had 1" of play (in & out). This, needless to say, broke the connection. After disassembling it and jury rigging a tighter connection to the plug using electrical tape, I got it working again but it still leaves me wondering why Line 6 wouldn't manufacture the cable to survive this type of a pull. I'm sure I won't be the only one experiencing it. The Best-Tronics cables look far more substantial in all the right places and generally better made. My order has been placed.
