Tom,

As has already been said, go with RG8X, especially indoors.

But, for no longer run than what you have described earlier on this 
list, RG8X will also be just fine for the outdoor run. It may actually 
be better than RG213, because it is much more flexible and easier to 
route.

So unless you have a stash of RG213, go with RG8X. That is all I run 
here below 6 meters.

Subject: antenna cable


I'm setting up an antenna and am wondering the following.  I'll be 
going from my
rig to a breakout box of some sort with rg213 and then going from the 
box to the
antenna with rg213.  I can either make the indoor piece of cable 
shorter and
outdoor longer or make the indoor longer and the outdoor shorter by 
four or five
feet depending upon exactly where I put the breakout box.  I'm 
wondering if that
will make any difference at all.  I don't see it as both cables will 
be rg213
but any thoughts will be appreciated.

Tom
