I made the same mistake myself, EricS. Most everything under the 42-400 is 20ga stranded now, as opposed to the original 22ga solid! (What was I thinking???). Works perfectly swell, but was a BEAR to connect at spots with multiple point connections. Radio plays beautiful and strong, but that will always be in the back of my mind, gnawing away, till it gets to the point where eventually I'll have to tear it all back apart and rewire it again!
