Hey Charlie, thanks for your reply. Well, my cable will be inside
walls, not buried in the ground. So, it seems that the RG213 will have
a little less loss and be a little less expensive?


Please take a look at LMR-400, another possibility.


When I upgraded my antennas (6 and 2 meter) I also upgraded the coax
from 213 to LMR-400-flex due to the lower loss. At 70 cm the 213 is
~6dB of loss and that is rather significant in my estimation,
especially when LMR-400 or 9913 is ~ 3dB. Considering the effort and
dollars that goes into putting up a decent antenna I feel the extra
cost of the coax is worth it.
