Best Coax ???

[hayseed]

Looking to replace the coax on a Wilson 5K. What is the BEST coax I can get? Looking at Belden 9913F7, but to be honest, they all are starting to "run together". Running a 2970N2 in 2010 Chevy truck.

Any suggestions will be appreciated !!

lmr 240 for mobile

mobile =
lmr-195 flex =rg58
lmr-240 flex =rg 8x [mini 8]
just get whatever meets or exceeds your wattage. and use the flexable type
much simpler on mobile setups.you,ll see a F after the coax type.imho the 195 should
do fine.

I agree. Completely.
Hope you are still here to read this.

LMR 400 for base use for runs of 35ft+

It it kinda pricey when I got a good amount like 15 years ago it was only like .85 a ft now it is like $1.35 a ft

The center electrode insulator with LMR is a softer foam (-). LMR > Velocity Factor (++).
Softer foam insulator and sharp bends is a no-no. I'm thinking anything less than 2" radius bend is detrimental on the smaller diameter LMR. May be greater R requirement on the larger 0.4x "coax.
Your 2970N2 deserves LMR190 or 240; watch the bends.
Belden 9913F7 10AWG center electrode; you think that N2 needs that
