It's funny, it doesn't seem to be everyone, I don't see any rhyme or reason 
for it. I know several who have had that problem with the 480, a few more 
having that problem with the 590 most I know on the air, some I know in 
person but it's by no means most or all, but it's enough to make me wonder 
about it and note it for if I ever have a radio with a newer cord and have 
that problem and certainly enough to make me look out for it if I get one. I 
can say most have not been mobile of either one though I wonder if most 
would notice the loss of 30 watts or so mobile.
