[TowerTalk] What coax is this?

The center conductor of RG-142 is solid steel so I would say it is  
less flexible. Plus if I recall the shield is tinned which did not  
match the original posters description.

braid is not silver-plated.  Anyone know what this is, and where I can get
more of it?"

RG-142 nearly fits your description, but the inner conductor is solid,
copper-clad steel.  I've been using RG400 for so long, I don't recall if it
is more or less flexible than RG-142.
