I'm not sure what they're using mobile, 1 guy I know has LMR400 in a very
short run. I know someone else using something, I forget what he called it
but it looks like RG8U but supposedly it's lower loss, only a 10 foot run or
so which isn't much loss. What most people run though I'm not sure, I do
know it's not RG58 though. You lose almost 100% of your signal in a short
run of that and it will heat up and melt as someone around here found out
with a 1 foot test piece.
