coax cable

[Truck boss]

Hello,looking for a good coax for mobile install
i drive for a small trucking company and i do all the radio installs,have been reading some post on coax and not sue what i should be using.
in the past i just used rg8x,and havent had any probs except for water getting in the pl-259 connector(now using cable rap)to help prevent that.
Also would like to know were to purchase cable and connectors in bulk.
Thanks for any info

nothing wrong with rg8x thats what I use... are you using a single antenna..if you are running duals you will need a co phase harness

RG58 or RG8X would be fine.

I use RG-8X for all my mobile installations from HF up to 2m/UHF. Good places to buy in quantities would be The WireMan - Your source for coax, connectors, wire, baluns,and more! or Davis RF Co. - Amateur Products
