Try a good RG-8 like a lmr-400 there are several that work well and copper carries them.

Doggie 619. Any of those coaxes will work and perform. But if you can afford LMR-400 go for it. I personally will never use anything else. I've never had ears like I do now. I guess it's because I get almost all my signal from the antenna to the radio and vice-versa. The stuff will last forever too. A good investment. Like anything you usually get what you pay for in life. I now consider coax as important as the antenna.
