I need to know where to get some once identified.  Maybe 10 to 15 feet is needed. Yes I know I can substitute, but so far I have been able to stay all original and would like to do so if possible.

Floyd -

If we're on the same page here, I believe the antenna wire is actually
solid wire with a string of those little ceramic insulators along it.
Someone on the milsurplus list (maybe Will Donzelli) had these in the
recent past. Can't tell you how many you need because it will depend
on how long your runs are between gear. Shorter is better I believe,
at least from a cost/bead perspective.
