Default Mic question (sort of)

Question about the HTX 100 mic , jarred my (admittedly), slow to think-about the Motorola (and other commercial radio manufacturer's 450, and 800 MHz
portable radio microphones, with self contained "ANTENNAS" in the cords . 1) can these be accurately modeled, or are too many variables involved (length of mic cord, angle of mic cord, how much streched out, proximity to the body (capacatance))? and, 2 (yes, realize that this is something MUCH less than optimum, but just from curiousosity, how do these compair with a (YUCK) "Rubber Duckie" ?? In other words, would this work with a repeater several miles away? or only limited to the mobile "repeaters" (trunk mounted in say a squad car)? Just curious? Jim NN7K
