Default RG-142 or RG-303 Stranded?

Hello Danny:

Look at RG400 its the same as RG142B, but has a stranded center wire.

But is a little harder to solder some pins or sockets on it. The RG142B
uses a spring steel center conductor that is silver plated. The RG142B
will not break or come apart. I have used surplus RG142B on my 2 meter
and 440 antennas for years with the door slamming on it all the time.

That's it!
