...It gives me 1/2 mile for the same money as 500 ft of 14 ga stranded copper...but will my antenna perform as well as one with stranded copper, all other things being equal?
yes, it is about 1/4 the price, that's why I posted the link.
stranded wire is my choice,.... its easier to work with, and it has more surface area than a single wire of the same gauge....... RF only travels on the wires surface (skin effect)

Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
