If my swr meter wont work with 75 ohm cable, should I use rg58 thsn if
I cant find rg8?


You could probably recalibrate your 50 ohm SWR meter to
75 ohms. Or if all you are using it for is to make your
transmitter happy, leave it calibrated for 50 ohms. In
the latter case, you are not measuring SWR. When a 50
ohm SWR meter indicates 1:1, it is looking into 50 ohms
which is what the transmitter wants to see.
