I have read that RG400 is the best cable to use for the transponder. I know
it is probably good to use it for the comm. radio as well but I already have
a small roll of RG58 for use in the comm. side. Is it worth the extra
expense to get RG400 for the radio or is the RG58 adequate? Will the RG400
fit the same BNC connectors as the RG58 fits?

Eric Jones sells RG142+ which he claims is the best. It is copper coated
aluminum,
(that means it's easy to solder and doesn't corrode)

He also sells copper coated aluminum starter cable, which is lighter than the
copper
welding wire normally used. I don't think he stocks #4 size yet, the one
needed for Rotax's (Rotices?,)but I am pleased with the #2 I got for my
Lycosaurus.
He told me he would get the #4 in stock if enough people need it. His problem
is minimum ordering quantity.
