I have to replace the coax on on my truck. I have been running rg8x on my 102" , Should I stick with the rg8x or is there something better for use with the extra wattage of the palomar 400?

Also is it possable to replace the coax on a Wilson 1000? A friend has one but the coax is damaged on it and he may give me a deal on it if I can repair it. What should I use if it can be replaced?

LMR-240 Flex is the best RG-58 coax out there - IMO . . .

RG58 should be more than enough for a Palomar 400 so 8X will be more than enough.

Thanks guys, I didn't know if something noticeably better was out there or not.

Ive used the mini 8 and the 8x coax both...

The coax on the Wilson 1000 can be replaced easily.

The 1000 is gone, The guy thought it could not be replaced and junked it.
