REFLECTOR: Stranded vs. Solid

[Brian Michalk]

Omega is overpriced.  Newark has thermocouple wire.

If you are going to an electronic unit, then there is no need to run TC 
wire all the way to the unit (assuming voltage, not current sensing).  
If you terminate all of your TC's inside the cabin at the same 
temperature relative to each other, and fairly same temperature of the 
unit where the ice reference is, then you should be okay.

For the best accuracy, terminate at the unit.
