Can I use my old coax and mounts from my 26 mhz days on a new uhf rig?

Probably, but how much of your signal do you want to waste, heating up the
coax?
With some types, it wouldn't be a surprise to see 3/4 of your power lost
between the rig and the antenna.. Andrews LMR-400 is good, as is all
large
hardline. N connectors are much better than the old "UHF" connectors (so
named when 30 MHz was "Ultra-high frequency")

I am wanting to use it on a 476 MHz set putting out 5 watts only
