I like my ICOM radio with DSC and RAM mic. I think some of the newer ones have builtin AIS.
When my cable went bad, I called ICOM, and they said they no longer stock the cable. Then I asked whether a later mic cable would work. It turned out that it did, and I was able to repair the mic with the new cable. Maybe you can get the same results from Standard Horizon.
