Hi Chip
Seasons greetings for 2003.
Solid core copper coax is used on antenna
feeds in the UHF and higher frequencies
due to feed line losses. eg. Transponders.
Stranded copper coax is generally ok for
VHF coms.
Copper "work hardens" and therefore solid
core copper cables must be adequately supported
as other listers have already advised.
Use of solid core ex telephone cable is not
recommended for reasons 1) it is a flexible
application that you advise and I assume the
telephone cable is copper 2) the insulation is
probably PVC with a low temp rating.
(PVC can migrate in elevated temps over
extended periods)
Stick with Tefzel stranded.
Cheers

Okay, gentlemen, surely I am not the first with a question about mounting the
701 "D" tank and still having room behind the instrument panel for the COM
radio, transponder, etc.
If the "D" tank were mounted "flat side" forward (if it had been built that
way in the beginning) there might be room to spare. However, the D tank
can't simply be reversed because the elbows would be incorrect ( and the
filler neck).
Has anyone overcome this by just building a completely new tank of custom
dimensions so that radios would fit with room behind?
One could mount radios below the inst panel.
Comments, suggestions, football scores welcome.
Just kidding about scores.
