I found an RG6 with copper braid, to take care of that. Cheap too, but only
if it works. If it doesn't it will be cheaper to go for better cable to start
with. I like that BT2002 with the double copper braid, but I'm not yet sure
if the difference justifies the cost, though judging by what some places
charge for RG6 it probably does..

There also is the question of cost and availablity. I can go to Home Center
and buy for about $.50 a meter a decent quality RG6 quad shield. In other
places, you should be able to localy source it for less.

Radio type coax requires me to special order it at the local electronics
store, and it will be a lot more expensive and less likely to be what
I wanted.

I really do miss being in the US able to go into any one of 6 Radio
Shack stores near my home and buy RG8x (really just improved RG-58) or
RG-8 coax by the foot. It wasn't the best one could buy, it it was "good
enough".

I can only guess you situation, but if you can do it, I would just go
to a supplier you trust and buy RG6 and see if it works. While I'm sure if
you had the right equipment you could find differences in the noise that
comes through various RG6 versions, it may not be enough to matter.
